Default Rear break probs!!! help

on my raptor i just replaced the back break and im pretty sure i did it right but now i have to press it really really hard to stop the back tires. it works as in slowing it down but i think the pads might be too far away from the disk and they dont tough or somthing? do you guys know how to adjust it? (make it easier to break without pushing soooooo hard?? -Matt-

no you put in. you open the ressie make sure it has fluid (dont let it run out or you have to rebleed them) open the bleeder, pussh the pedal down, close the bleeder, lut the pedal rise, and repeat untill all the air is out but make sure to keep the fluid in the ressie!
