Just did another rotor & pads brake job on my 1 owner 180,000 1997 monte carlo 3.1 with ABS.. This is usually a replace-and-drive-it job for me but this time i've got a hard brake pedal. I did'nt bleed the brakes as i did not crack any bleeders. She'll stop in time ok but not as sweet as she used to....No codes showing.......Any suggestions......Regards.....Tom

it could be the pads you put on.. usually the brakes would be spungy if you need to bleed them.Shane "RedZMonte"

A hard pedal could mean a twisted/kinked brake line or a vacuum leak to the powerbooster.1995 Grand Am SEComment
