You dont need to bleed the brakes.

no need to bleed the brakes when changing only pads. Only in times when you open the system to air (i.e. when changing brake lines) do you need to bleed.

I would just check the brake fluid level just in case some drained out when you pushed the caliper piston back when you did the pads.

no need to bleed all 4, but it is HIGLY recomended. im sure its been a while since you've bleeded ur brake fluid and it'll be a great way to have a fresh start with new pads and NO AIR BUBBLES IN UR BRAKE LINES!

Yeah i know, the reason i said to refill is sometimes pple let the pads go too low and when they see the brake master cylinder with the fluid low, they add more. So when they push the piston back to put the newer (thicker) pad, brake fluid will now overflow....make sense or did i lose you? again

I get it, I have done that before with the older car I used to have
