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

    A brake is a device to stop or slow a vehicle, and braking is what you do when you apply the brakes. Brake pads are what OP is talking about replacing.

    Breaking something is separating it into pieces or interrupting a sequence of events, like taking a break from work.

      Thanks. I must have had a blackout and blindly followed OPs spelling.
