I REPLACED THE FRONT PADS THIS MORNING. AS I WAS COMPRESSING THE PISTON ON DRIVERS SIDE WITH OLD PAD AND C CLAMP FLUID LEAKED FROM MASTER CYL CAP, WHICH USUALLY DOES HAPPEN.
AFTER RELPACING PADS ON BOTH SIDES AND STARTING CAR I CANT GET PEDAL TO STAY UP GOES RIGHT TO FLOOR. THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE. PLEASE HELP I AM STUMPED AND NEED CAR. REAR BRAKES ARE ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD.
MASTER CYLINDER STILL FULL.

Did you bleed all four brake ports at each tire? Also check to see if your pedal is not hooked on the dash or wires.

PEDAL IS MOVING FREELY, I DIDNT OPEN ANY BRAKE LINES SO THERE IS NO REASON TO BLEED.

Still has to be bled, even if the lines wernt opened, when the calliper is all the way out and then is bottomed it can create air bubbles.
