Brake replacement 101 - Page 2

I would suggest , even thought you didn't open the bleeder's , bleed the system. You may have inadvertently sucked in some air thru the systems some how. Perhaps the fluid level was low in the reservoir. I always open the lid and just set it on until I am done then top off the fluid. Start at the farthest line and work toward the shortest...

Ive heard that i have to have a bleeder kit to do these brakes. I know how to do it the old fashion way but will that work for my application.

The hand pump bleeder will cost you $30 or so. The old fasioned way of pump and release will spray brake fluid all over the place unless you put a hose on it and capture the fluid in a bottle.
