Is it mandatory to change the oil or bleed the brakes after changing the pads?

Thank you very much

Good morning,

clear, simple and effective tutorial, thank you.

On the other hand, it would seem useful to me to specify the tightening torques necessary for reassembly.

This remark also applies to all other services.

Thanks again for your work!!

Good morning,

In principle yes but without any certainty. Try to remove only one wheel to compare the photos of the tutorial with the braking system of your vehicle.

THANKS.
