That's what I was thinking. The front pads are ~new, and really good ones. If it's not pulling to one side or the other, I agree with Jeff and say it's actually that the rear brakes aren't strong enough. Time for new pads and rotors out back maybe?

And Kasey, the bleeder valves are on the calipers. They are probably 10mm nuts with a hole and short tube on them for the brake fluid to come out of. I believe they're on the top, but I could be wrong.
