HI So i changed my front brake pads amd when i squeeze the lever to bleed it i get absolutely no pressure.   Maybe air in my lines?.  I

Heya
When you changed your pads did you push the piston back and remove the pads and then install new ones? Or did you remove the break hose when you changed them? If you just removed and replaced the pads then it should be as simple as pumping the break lever a few times to push the piston out and make contact with the pads, if you removed the hose or accidently pumped the piston out (don't ask how I did this #blond) then you have air in the system and will need to bleed the air out, its simple enough to do alone
if you plan to fail do you still fail to plan?
