Changing Brake Pads and Rotors, Brake Bleeding and Flush Question
Hi there,
Got all 4 Slotted rotors and Hawk brake pads, now I just got a brake flush and free'd the seize caliper I had the other day, and I'm going to install the rotors and pads soon, after installing them would I need to bleed my brakes again? Also do I have to bed the pads in?
Thank you

If you bleed it properly after replacing the seized calipers and changing fluid then your good, bleed not required with just a pad/rotor change.
Some pad manufactures say no bedding is needed, check thier specs. With a new rotors and pads at the same time I would bed them tho, weather it says it is required or not.

I researched slotted and drilled rotors. Better to have ones that are smooth. Once you install them report back on any air noise they make. I would change the fluid regardless. You should change the fluid every time you change your pads so you have fresh fluid in there.
