Hello, I replaced brake pads on front axle (pagids) on my Accord 2.4 cl9 2004, 54k miles on the clock, now brake pedal feels softer than it was before replacement. I took off brake fluid reservior cap, pushed back caliper by hand with old pad on, finnished with one wheel, did the same on the other one. Didn't have to take any brake fluid by syringe, no spillage. It's plenty of fluid in there nearly half inch from the cap, no visual leaks anywhere, didn't touch any bleeding valve. Just brakes feel softer. With engine off when I pump pedal few times it gets hard and stays hard. With engine on when stationary pedal goes nearly to the floor every time, goes like half length in, then slower and lower. Doesn't stop higher when I push it couple times. What it could be? I did nearly 400 miles already, first 50-60 with careful braking to let them bed in, then rest of it on motorway. On first bite it feels soft but second one bites hard and pedal gets hard higher. I would not expect any air in brake system. Help please
