    Hi, Group!
    Front brake pads are worn and needs to be replaced, is it necessary to bled
    brake system? Car has 91000 original miles and hasn't bled the system but
    once.
    Thanx for advice in advance.

    It doesn't have to be done as part of the pad replacement. But by now
    it would be a good idea. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, and
    this can affect how well it performs. Under normal conditions you may
    never notice, but come the time for serious or prolonged braking,
    where things get hot, you may find your brake pedal going soft.

    Ideally, change the brake fluid every couple of years.
