So it’s come the time to break the pads on my car which is a Kia Rio. I’ve looked up a few things and the job seems doable by myself which saves a lot of money.

The only thing that I can’t seem to find a concrete answer is if they actually need to be bled once the new pads are installed?

Thank you

    You don’t need to bleed brakes for a pad change. Change the fluid if it’s time to be changed, which also happens to be convenient to do while the wheels are off. Brake pad wear might coincide with fluid change timing, but not always.
