If glazing is your problem, remove the pads and run them over sandpaper on a flat surface. Then have the rotors resurfaced or replaced.

thanks a lot everyone. I will be bleeding the brakes today. if that's not the problem ill probly replace the pads and rotors and if still no luck I guess a real mechanic will check it out.

does anyone know the order for bleeding the pathys brakes? I thought it was always rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger then front driver???

Actually, bleeding order is not the same on all vehicles. For the R51, the bleeding order is as follows:

Right rear...front left...rear left...front right.

Master cylinder reservoir should be kept at least half full at all times.

Yes, left side is the driver side, right side is the passenger side.
