hello everyone im new to this site. i recently changed all four of my brake pads and bleeded the lines and when i brake the pedal pulses. It was worse before i made this changes and i notice that the rear pads were not grabbing evenly. What can i do? Do i have to resurface the rotors? please help

cruiser,

What year rig are you talking about? If you had pulsation before changing the pads you should of automatically had the rotors resurfaced. Also what type of pads did you install?

Ok to check which brakes are pulsing go down the rode and pull on the "E" brake and see if the pulse is coming from the back. I had the same problem and it was the rear drums that were out of round. Had them turned and all is well. Oh by the way stay away from the ceramic pads.
