You definitely do not need to bleed you brakes when doing pads,and rotors.Did you do all 4?

Found this with some searchs on google.Don't know if it will be any help.
Why do the brakes feel soft immediately after replacing the pads? 2.get other pads the fit better (like the same brand as the last set). The other reason new pads feel soft is that they still have all the gases in them from the adhesive used to form the material and stick it onto a backing plate. These gases come out when the brakes heat up and will take a few heat cycles to full dissipate. These gases make the pads perform less than optimally. There are all sorts of rituals that people go through to break-in (brake-in?) new pads and it definitely a religious issue. The fact is, just be careful for about 100 miles and they should be fine be then. I do know that depending on the brand of shoes i have used,some have felt softer compared to others. |
