I just replaced my front brake pads. The procedure was to simply open the caliper without taking it off, take the old pads off, and put the new ones on, and put a layer of grease on the back of both pads, and reinstall everything in reverse order.
Now when I brake, the pedal is really soft and I have to go down pretty far to get decent braking power. However, if I let go and step on the pedal a second time, it feels firm and just fine. But then when I drive a little distance, it goes back to being soft on the first touch.
Does anyone know what's going on?
By the way, the brake fluid reservoir is now a lot more full than it was before installing the new pads. Even after pressing down hard on the brake, the fluid level doesn't go down. Not sure if this is normal or not.
Thanks, guys
