it should not be too bad if you have ever done a break job before and you know kind of what you are doing.

depends
if you just swap the pads you dont have to if your brake feels spongey i would bleed it. if you replace a brake hose or caliper then you have no choice in bleeding the brakes..its a must bleeding the brakes is always a good idea anyway bendix, hawk, friction master are some good pads

They (contrary to what others say) do NOT go back in when a c clamp. If you do push them back in with a c clamp you are going to need a new piston because you have now just fucked the threads up inside of the piston. And 2, you are an idiot to do that. lol. If you use vise grips (a lot easier IMO), do not break the seal. |
