Replacing Brakes Question
Hey all,
So I was changing the pads for the front rotors and there are suppose to be 4 bolts to loosen to get the job done right?
Well lets say it is
...
So the 2 bolts that hold the cylinder like thingy I took off for one side but I had trouble taking the bolts off the other side, so I just replaced the pads anyways cuz I could get to them without taking it out. Then I go to start the car and the breaks are real heavy/hard and the next thing I know the brake fluid blew everywhere. After it seemed fine, i guess the pressure got released (i hope). Was it because I didnt bleed the brakes ie. the cylinder thingy?
