Shimano xt brakes

Hi I’ve got a set of xt Shimano brakes the front one don’t press in as far as back one I’ve push the pistons back in and still no look the back pads have got more clearance from the disc then the front ones so would it be worth bleeding the front ones as they may have more fluid in

sorry about spelling or wording if u don’t understand I’m sorry

It must be bleeding every 2 years. just change the oil. clearances may vary because the rear brake is used more frequently. this is the norm. do not worry. with respect from Ukraine. Sergey

hi thank you I’ve bleed the break both front and back I’ve pushed the pistons in so both are all the way in and brake feel like they need to be bleed because brakes feel sponger they no air in brakes etc and the pads and disc have got loads of room (new pads) so really is it probably because my pads are not very thick

then take off the wheel and push the brake lever a little. very little. put on the wheel. and everything will be ok
