I have just replaced both front and rear brake pads on my Vauxhall Zafira with no problems on fitting. However, I am now experiencing excessive brake pedal travel. I have tried to rectify this by bleeding the front brakes which has helped a little. I have checked the brake fluid reservoir level which appears high. I understand that new brake shoes take a while to bed in. Is this situation normal or do I need to take further action.
Just as an afterthought, the old brake shoes were well worn and I had to retract the brake pistons fully to enable the new shoes to fit.
