IF YOU DID NOT OPEN THE BLEEDER SCREWS ON THE CALIPER WHEN YOU PUSHED THE PISTON BACK IN, THEN THERE IS NO NEED TO BLEED THE SYSTEM. WHEN YOU GET EVERTHING BACK TOGETHER, MAKE SURE THE RESERVOIR IS FULL, THEN JUST PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL IT IS SOLID AGAIN.
To bleed the hydraulic brakes; you fill the reservior, with brake fluid then,go to the farthest.cylinder,find the bleed plug(near the wheel cylinder, looks like a greese fitting) slip a hose tightly over the fitting, submergee the other end in a container of brake fluid,then loosen the fitting; (with a helper., slowly pressing the brake pedel down);fluid will come out to the container,if air bubbles,close the fitting at the end of flow then let up on brake pedel,do this till all air bubbles are gone, then go to next wheel cyl repeat till all cyl are bled(be sure all bleed fittings are re-tightened,when done..
you dont need to bleed your brakes ,,just fit the pads and as long as you havent opened the bleed nipple its ok
Yes I agree. There is no need to bleed brakes unless you have introduced air into the lines. Just changing the pads doesn't allow any air to enter.

What happens if you install front brake pads on an 07 Honda Civic without adding brake fluid?
Probably nothing. When you install new pads, you have to retract the piston some for the new, thicker pads to fit. Pushing the piston back causes the fluid to back up into the reservoir. This actually raises the fluid level. If the pads were really worn, you may even have to remove some fluid to avoid an overflow. After you are done replacing the pads, it is always good to bleed the brake system to purge any trapped air.
