i just got new rotors and pads (Brembo's and axxis pads) now there only for the front, do i just need to bleed the front brakes? Or both front and back?

 

it is not necessary to bleed your brake fluid if you're swapping pads & rotors.

after you compressed the piston in your caliper to install the new pads,

did you check the reservoir in the master cylinder?

did the fluid in the m/c go up?

did it need to be refilled?

these are all indications of the age of your brake fluid.

if you're not sure when the last time your brake fluid was serviced, then it's good idea to bleed it.

brake fluid is one of the most commonly overlooked part of brake service

brake fluid transfers heat, it carries it away from the caliper, rotor & pad. this heat is created everytime the brake pad touches the rotor when the brake pedal is applied. brake fluid is "hygroscopic," which means it tends to absorb moisture over time (never leave a can of brake fluid open for this reason). moisture lowers the boiling point of the fluid and causes internal corrosion in the brake system.

inspect the color of the fluid. it's always good to flush of the contaminants (water, air) & run with fresh brake fluid

 

well it deff needs new brake fluid for sure, so while im installing the rotors and pads i wanted to bleed the brakes as ive never done it my self i use to help my dad when i was 8 or 10 on his 86 chevy station wagon,

so do i need to bleed all 4 i have drums on the rear, disc's on the front? and if just the front ones i would start with the passenger side correct?

as its the farthiest from the master cylinder?

I found the write up unde the stickies on how to installed the rotors and pads but it was for 4 wheel disc's that's why i ask because of the drums on the rear.

 

Also am i suppose to clean the rotors with brake cleaner befor i install them? thought i herd that some were..

Sorry for all the questions just want to make sure i do it right sence the brakes are very important saftey wise and the last thing i need is to not have done something the right way.

 

bleed all four corners (never just fronts or just rears)

same order for all four discs or with rear drums

right rear, left front, left rear, right front

it is not the farthest to closest with honda bleed procedure

yes, spray the rotor w/ brake cleaner. there's a protective film on it that prevents it from rusting while it's on the shelf at the store

remember to bed in your pads; every manufacturer has their own break-in. this will ensure your pads wear and grab evenly

 

Now another question, I can't find any info on how to bed in the Axxis deluxe pads, I figure some 40-25 stops semi hard braking and 60-20mph stops then drive around 15mins freeway to cool the brakes, Does this sound like a good plan
