I have changed several makes of disc pads before ( toy and Honda), but recently while having my 5k mile tire rotation done at a shop I heard that many of us do-it-yourselfers fail to turn some bleed valve while compressing the caliper and it causes a problem with the brake system.

I looked in the repair section here and read the pad replcament thread on 99-2003 pads, but there was no mention of a bleedvalve which I believe was in the master cylinder area?

Is this mechanic selling BS, or is there a bleedvalve that I need to open while forcing the brake fluid back into the master reservoir?

Thank you

Allen
