Why did you need to bleed the brakes after just changing the pads?? Are
you refering to compressing the wheel cylinders? Where you flushing
fluid through the system?
I've done many brake jobs in the past. I've never found bleeding the
brakes to be necessary unless you opened the system to replace a
cylinder, etc., or you want to flush with fresh fluid. Certainly not for
simple pad replacement. Is bleeding the system called for in the Dak
service manual under ABS maintenance?
