get a bleeder kit at autozone is the easiest and it is normally if you only open the system but sometimes compressing the caliper can do it

Well i did compress the calipers lol...but aside from the bleeder kit whats the process of the bleeding

GreenFaleen · April 17th, 2008, 12:35 PM

You do have to pump the pedal a few times to seat the new pads against the rotors. Try that first.

best way to do it if you dont want to buy the bleed kit get a buddy to sit in the car
when you find the bleeder valve keep it closed.
have your friend push the pedal down 3-5 times and on the 5th time have him hold it down! and keep it down.
while its down open the bleeder vavle just enough so that the fluid slowly pours out but not with to much coming out. then you want to close the valve before you run out of fluid.

be sure to keep the master cylinder full with fluid

you want to repeat that probably like 3-4 times really until the air is out of the lines
