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

    My Transit van will probably be the first vehicle I don’t do my own brakes on. I’ve heard the rear brakes are a chore. Sounds like Kia rear brakes are similarly annoying

      I only know from the Kia Picanto and Ford Focus, both about 20 years old. It isn’t overcomplicated and the “special” device isn’t that expensive, a set that will work on (almost) any car costs about 20 €.
