    Brake Question

    I just changed my front rotors and my break pads, I put everything back together and tested it out, and now it seems like I have to mash the break pedal damn near to the floor for the car to stop, I sat in the car for 45mins just stepping on and off the breaks, it helped alot but it still doesnt fell as tight as it was. What could be the problem?

    Did check your fluid level? bleed the brakes after you finished?

        If you just got rotors and pads, you shouldn't have needed to touch the lines, so how would there be air?
        wat?

          I took the calipers off, so I removed the break line.

              Do I need to bleed all for lines or just the front two?

                You always bleed all 4 in the correct order as stated in the manual.

                ...adjust accordingly

                  start in the rear...work your way up to the front

                  kinda like the opposite of wiping your butt

                  doesn't matter if you start with pass or driver side though

                  check resv. every two pumps...make sure you have the brake pedal held down when you release the bleeder valve...make sure to tighten the bleeder all the way back up before releasing the brake pedal

                    Err, no.

                    You only bleed the effected lines.

                    So don't touch the rear, its fine (unless you did the same to the rear/mastercylinder)
                    wat?

                      Thanks, I bleed the front two and it did the trick.

                          just for the record it does matter what you bleed first, and you shoudl always bleed the enitire system regaredless,, start with the right rear , left rear ,front right, then front left, ,, always bleed starting with the furthest point from the master cylinder, and remember the brakes are split in a x formation front left and right rear brakes are on the same brake circuit and fron right and left rear are on the same circuit in comparison to the proportioning valve, so be sure u bleed all 4 when u have the lines open,,

                            No. Like I said above, you only bleed the lines you've opened, If he took the front calipers off only, then he doesn't need to bleed the rear, and if you don't have to don't bleed the rear because the bleeders break easy, and if your lucky it won't leak.

                            Anyway the way I did it last time when I changed my MC, which requires all lines bled, RR-> RF-> LR-> LF
                            wat?
