So I just changed out my front brake pads and rotors with ceramic. Upon removing both wheel bearing, it seems as though they weren't very tight. After bedding the brakes, I'm still get some noise when swurve left and right. Could it be that the wheel bearings need to tightened more? I'm not sure how tight they're suppose to be. Also, I opened the master cylinder when pushing in the calipers. Do I need to flush the brakes or not? I think the brake pedal is lower than before and softer despite pumping them many times. I did have to siphon excess brake full, just so it won't overfill. Any help would be appreciate :)
