I'm fairly new to mustangs and I had to do my first front pad replacement on my 2000 v6 yesterday night.. and now the brakes feel a bit spongy. It feels like air had gotten into the system but I did not open up the bleeder screws - I just used a C clamp to slowly push the pistons back into their bores. I've done this for eons with other vehicles and never run into this issue. I've searched other posts and I see others are using the same method and didn't find anyone running into the similar problems (on pad replacement without opening the bleeders). Has anyone else experienced this closed system syndrome???
I'm wondering if I've damaged the MC pushing the pistons back in, although it doesn't seem to drop the pedal (it feels more like air). I guess I'll start with front bleeding to see if it resolves the problem, and then have to look at the MC.
Any insight would be appreciated.
