    right.... as the title says really, i put some drilled and grooved disks on the front of my car today along with new pads for the front, just wondered if the brakes need bleeding after or will it be ok as they are now ?? thanks
    was thinking this as the old pads was wrecked and the new have alot of pad in them, which therefore i had to push the pressure thingy majiggy that presses the pad onto the disk, had to push that back ??
    sorry if i confuse any1 as ive confused myself, but some one will understand surely lol

    The fluid has notheing at all to do with a disk and pad change
    a blead isnt required.

    Though fluid should be changd every three years and that requires a blead.
