Hi Quattro Listers -

This past weekend I replaced front brake disk pads on my 100 CSQW.  
After 60 K miles the inside pad was very thin.  The job went well.  
However, I now have spongy brake pedal.  It feels like air in the 
system.  I did not open the system at all.  The piston did stick to 
the inside pad and extended outward toward the end of its outward 
stroke.  Could air have infiltrated around seal and rubber boot when 
re-compressed?  Can I use a hand vacuum pump to bleed system at each 
wheel?  Saving up for the Bentley manual.  Would appreciate any 
advice.

Thanks
