Brakes hesitating

[raxxus]

Hello!

I recently installed new brake pads in my front two wheels. Well, the process I used was just to do one wheel at a time, pulling off the old pads and replacing with the new ones. That's it lol. But now, when I'm coming to a stop, it feels as if it is hesitating (the brakes) but if a press harder stops. Don't get me wrong, It is not as if I have no stopping power, its just that it hesitates. I thought it was the rotors, might be old, but they were find before I replaced them ( they never hesitated)

Maybe I should bleed the brakes? The fluid level is perfect though... lol

Thanks for your help

Also, what kind of sealant do you guys recommend for the rear axle and such things like the water pump and stuff? Thanks!

Not exactly sure if this will cure your problem, but I suggest bleeding the whole braking system. You may have a few air pockets in there causing the hesitation. Flush the whole system out until you have clean fluid coming from each bleeder screw. Takes awhile, but you can narrow things down from there.
As for the rear and water pump sealant, I used blue high temp Form-A-Gasket. I applied it lightly to both surfaces, and let it dry overnight. Haven't had any leakes...yet.
