Break pads

[Jay B.]

I didn't need siphon any fluid out. The max level in the reservoir still has some room for the fluid to rise when pushing the old pads back to allow the thickness of the new pads. I did the backs first then pumped the pedal then I did the fronts. Level is perfect now after road test.

I needed to have my brake fluid flushed and bled for my HDPE next week. my front pads are still at 1/2 thickness and will need to be changed sometime soon. I'm not sure my reservoir will hold the extra fluid since it's at the max line and new front pads will be twice as thick. We'll see!
