newb changing brake pads problem! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I tried changing my front brake pad for the first time today, and I accidentally disconnected the flexible hose from the caliper . Now if I press on the brake it's a lot lighter and it'd take longer for the car to stop. Any suggestion? hopefully I didn't screw it up too bad.

Probably just got some air in there. Try bleeding the brakes.

after doing a bit of searching in this forum, i sorta got the idea of bleed the brakes. One question, is the bleeder the screw the same screw i opened to remove the flexible hose or is it the lil' bullet head opening? though i don't recall anything screw on the bullet head opening.
