Just a heads up it's not my first time working on car brakes.. I have done this job in the past myself without any issues however... yesterday I worked on my car.. I painted the calipers and put everything back together... (note: calipers were never removed completely.. just removed it off the rotor and hanged it using zip ties.. right now I feel like I have air in my brake fluid system.. why ? because the pedal doesnt feel the same way, it's just a little softer than it should be... ) now my question is... How is it possible to have air in the system if I never removed the calipers? I did the same job on the bmw E36.. mk2 mr2... camry... honda.. etc.. and the brakes were fine after a few pumps the pedal gets nice and firm. (Also note that I did the front 2 calipers one day and the rear 2 another day) after the front caliper set was done on day one I drove it and the pedal was perfectly fine.. after I did the rear 2 the pedal has a soft feel) the car still brakes solid but since the pedal is softer im not sure if the car is using the rear brakes too.. any explanation for this ? I thought I should drive it a bit to see if it improves .. and it has improved by a lot .. but still not the same... has anyone experienced this issue? Did you have to bleed the brakes eventually? What's a good price to have my brakes professionally bled?
