you don't need to bleed the brake if you just gonna replace the pads, bleed them only when you have air in the system.
You do need the C-clam to compress the piston back if the new pad is too thick.

if you step on the brake during park or driving, you feel that the pedal is solid (ie push all the way down, but not bottom out), suddenly you can push the pedal down some more, like it just hit a bubble.
basicly, your pedal feel is not solid.
if you park the car, just follow the user manual on checking the fluid level, ie pump the brake 10 times, at that moment, the pedal should feel very stiff, if not, you have air in the system. Do I make any sense on this?
