i just put new front pads on and now my brakes go right to the floor!! there is no air in the lines and my fluid is topped up. i did only the front pads and did is as per the instructions and they r on EXACTLY the way they always were. i need help now to make it to cayuga tonite.

if i have brand new pads up front but older pads that r more than likely worn would that also make the pedal spongey?

they always take time to work properly again because when u take off the pads you will most likly depress the piston inside of the caliper and well yah it does take a short while for the brakes to feel normal again

i said i didnt need to bleed brakes becuz i never took the lines off or loosened or even touched the brake lines and my dad just took it out for a test drive and he says its more than likely my master cylinder. he was a mechanic so he porbly is right. he also said my transmission is a POS and it doesnt got no snap to it lol
