So when I get my face down by the front brakes I notice that the rotor is brand spanking new - as in - no pad has ever touched this thing... and NO he says he didn't put new rotors on.... So for over a year he's been tooling around with ZERO front brake action... Bleeding them went a long way to helping his "issue"....
That is a good one. In my case there was enough contact to shine them up and make them hot to the touch. I forgot to mention that I also installed some HP Plus brake pads along the way too...
