this is for my beater car it's a 91 dx hatch.....i need to replace the brake pads and rotors (pads are squeling, brake fluid level is fine) so after i replace the pads and rotors, do i need to bleed the brakes??

 

Nope

 

no you dont have to. but it doesnt hurt to do it. really just do the pads/rotors then go try and stop,

have the brakes been kept up with routine maintence or is this the 1st time in 20 years its getting changed?

I have seen some people do odd stuff, you can always hurt something
