New pads and rotors now shutters

I replaced my front pads and rotors. But now braking it's not as smooth as before when stepping on the brake. Almost feels like pulsating brake pedal or small shuttering. I used a c-clamp to push the calipers back in when I did the brake job. I did not bleed the brakes. Any ideas how to resolve the shutter?

Go back and bleed them. That could be the problem. And Did you seat the bearings correctly when you replaced the rotors?

The correct way to seat a bearing is to tighten it so tight that you can't spin the wheel, then start back off a little at a time until the wheel spins freely... then put your cotter pin back in.

If you dont do this, they will be loose and shakey within a day or two.

I didn't need to touch the hub assy. I just pulled the rotor off and put the new one on. But I will go back and bleed them. Is there a how to. for bleeding the brakes.
Thanks.
