You need to bleed if you replaced the wheel cylinders. If not then you need to adjust the new rear brakes. Maybe both. |

![]() Seriously? You can't remember if you opened the bleeder screws and let it drip through a tube into a jar for a few hours, then put more brake fluid in the reservoir, or had someone repeatedly pumping the brakes while you talked to them while you opened/closed the bleeder screw and checked and filled the reservoir a few three times, or hooked up a vacuum bleeder to it and monitored/refilled the reservoir, and had a container full of old brake fluid to get rid of when you were done? ![]() Yes, you need to bleed them.

Could be that they just need to adjust themselves. Also could be that the auto adjusters aren't any good, they strip out a lot. Try pulling your e-brake up about five clicks and see if they feel better. If so, then it's an adjustment problem. |
