I just had new rotors/pads/ put in the REAR of my '92 grand marquis. But they didin't bleed the breaks (whatever that means) or break flush. Is it required?
thank you

No, It's not necessary to bleed the brakes when you are just putting on new rotors and pads. Or drums and shoes.
Only bleed them if you know what you are doing! If you get air in the lines it will cause your brakes to not work at all!
Only bleed brakes if
1. Your brake fluid appears old. (Brake fluid should be clear. If it's black then you need have the brakes bleed and get rid of the dirty fluid.)
2. You had to replace a brake caliper or a slave cylinder or master cylinder.
Again if you know what you are doing, they recommend replacing brake fluid every 3 years because brake fluid absorbs water and eventually causes failure of the master cylinder. However if you don't know what you are doing. Don't bleed the brakes! It's not necessary in a typical rotor/pad replacement.

AsSalamu Alaikum your speedy can basically be void in case you purposefully make it so, and that i'm guessing you're no longer keen on the flavor of blood on your throat. So now which you comprehend what takes place you're able to try your superb to steer clear of letting blood on your abdomen. Bleeding does in spite of the undeniable fact that break wudu, yet no longer your speedy (the 1st ramadan replaced into suggested in the process the conflict of badr.)

no you shouldn't have to bleed brakes unless you replace,break lines,calipers,wheel cyclinders,master cyclinder.If you think they need bleed,its easy,loosen the bleeder,compress brake pedal until fluid squirts out in a steady stream,repeat procedure a couple of times so no more air is in your system.

No, not unless you opened the bleeder valve or you loosened the brake lines.If you took it to a shop unless they are really stupid,there is no reason to.
