Why do rear brake pads wear faster?
Brake pads wear every time the brakes are applied. So, if the vehicle is often driven in stop-and-go traffic, the faster the pads wear out. The size and weight of the vehicle also have an impact on how fast the brake pads wear out. This means the rear brakes will often wear out before the front brakes.
Why do my brakes feel spongy after replacing the pads?
Air in the brake line(s) is the most common cause of a soft/spongy brake pedal. If air gets into the brake lines, it can prevent brake fluid from flowing properly, causing the brake pedal to feel spongy or soft. If the brakes are soft or spongy, this is a good time to change or flush the brake fluid.
Can you bleed car brakes by yourself?
Bleeding brakes with a bottle You can make this simple tool yourself from any clean jar or bottle with a lid you happen to have around. Pour just enough fluid into the jar to cover the end of the hose – this way no air can get in. Now, just hook the hose to the bleeder, and open it.

How do you bleed brakes with ABS by yourself?
In general, whenever you are bleeding an ABS-equipped vehicle you can do so exactly as you would any other vehicle – stroke the pedal to pressurize the system, open a bleeder, close the same bleeder, and repeat. This does not change whether you are pressure-bleeding, vacuum-bleeding, or manual-bleeding.
Can you bleed all 4 brakes at once?
You sure can bleed all 4 at the same time. Just use the “gravity” method. That’s where you simply open all the bleeders at once and allow the fluid to run through by itself, keeping a sharp eye on the reservoir so it doesn’t run dry.28
