If your brake feels fine now, then it should be fine.

 

did you bleed the brake system afterwards?

 

how did you manage to let the brake piston fall out? were you pumping the brakes with no pads in?

 

^probably forgot the calipers were out when he pushed the brake pedal.

If should be fine as long as the piston went in smoothly - if you put it in at a weird angle and then forced it, then the walls might be scored = you're gonna leak brake fluid. do a good flush and you should be fine though.

 

thanks guys,, yes long story short we pushed the pedal without brake pads in.. lol
it went in smoothly.. i think.. and bled after.
so should be fine??

 

yes you should be fine. hopefully you made sure that no dirt/other crap got stuck on the piston before you pushed it back.

 

I'd bet its fine! drive it, just check for brake leaks...if one rim gets significantly dirtier than another, its time to check for leaks but if not...have fun!
