There is no need to open the bleeders to change pads therefore no need to bleed air out of the system. I would leave the brake job to someone that has some experience.

Your opinion was not requested, therefore your response has one piece of information that is useful. If I asked you if I had sufficient experience doing the job then you would have answered the question correct.

Ryan, no offense intended, but if you ask the question that you did, it tells me that you may lack the basic know how to be working on a brake system. Best of luck with it.
