I had an inclination that i may have to bleed the brakes but just wanted a second opinion. The new pads went in easy because i pushed the pistons in, then after that i pumped the brake to get the pistons tight on the pads again but when i took it a test run down the drive way there was far too much give on the brake pedal and not alot of stopping going on.

I've had new pads for the rear sitting there for a while, and as i had the day off work i got round to changing them today. I had a pretty decent idea of what i was doing but i consulted a mate who had previously done his before. The pads came out fine and the new ones went in, but now i dont seem to have a rear brake pedal. Im putting my right foot to the floor and the brkaes simply arent working. Has anyone done this before and can maybe think of an important thing i might have missed out on my first time?

I've been having a bit of bother getting my damaged mirror off to replace it with a new one. One of the hex key bolts came off no problem but the other is chewed. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and has a quick solution, other than taking it to the dealer. Cheers for any help.
