BY never turning a nut on the Fluid Line letting Fluid Out or air IN. Using a C-Clamp to depress the Caliper Cup to give the new pads room as follows. Taking into consideration that you know how to get the calipers off. NOTE*( Not all the way off, you have to leave the fluid line attached). After getting the Calipers and pads off the rotor. Leave in or put back the old pad in its original location on the inside or back of the caliper assembly where you see the round cup. Place a Large size C-Clamp in a fashion as to straddle the pad and the backside of the caliper housing. This places the CUP in a sandwich, stay centered. Now by turning the C-Clamp handle clockwise you will depress the cup that acts as a cylinder pushing the brake fluid backwards to the Brake cylinder reservoir with no air entering the system. Once you reach bottom release the C-Clamp and take the old pad out and replace With New BRAKE PADS WITHOUT BLEEDING BRAKES.
CAUTION ! WARNING! There will be a no brake situation on your first and probably the second depression of the brake pedal after you start rolling the automobile. Just have a safe 30 ft or so to allow the new brakes time and distance to close the gap from the pad surface to the rotors surface.
After this little nuisance your new pads will work great. Roger O
