do you have to bleed the braking system whenever changing front pads?

 

last time I checked yea

 

yeah you do but if done right you do not have to :devil:
i learned a trick of how not needing to do it i have yet to try it because they do not let us drive here in japan if we are only here for a year

 

you can't drive for a year?? how hard is it going to be then driving on the other side. I think shifting with my left had would make me have an accident :fawk:

 

No, you don't need to bleed the brakes if you are just changin the pads.

The thing you'll have to watch though is when you push the piston in, that fluid backs up into the reservior bottle. So after you do the first one, push the brake pedal down a few times to get that piston back into position and lower the fluid level. If not, when you do the second one, you'll overflow the reservoir a bit. Not a big problem, but might as well prevent it.

Here's a DIY on my Sixth Gen Accord:
