Default bleeding the brakes
When replacing the front rotors and pads do you have to bleed the brakes? Also anyone using project U pads?

If it is hard to get the caliper back on with the new pads on, try useing a C-clamp to compress the caliper piston.

Remember to flush your brake fluid every 60k in which you will need to bleed brakes, no one likes a frozen caliper!
