I stripped a passenger rear wheel stud yesterday as I was working. So I spent some time to replace the stud. This involved removing the caliper and the rotor in order to pound out the stud. Well, I also decided that since my wheels and calipers were off, I thought maybe it'd be a good idea to replace all my pads as well.

So without finishing, I moved onto the front, replaced the pads and thought it would be a good idea to have my younger brother come out and help me bleed the brakes. Well stupid me, I totally forgot to put everything back together on the passenger rear side. The caliper and rotor were still not attached! So as I asked him to pump the brakes as I released the front bleeder valve, the caliper piston on the rear passenger side shoots out onto the ground!

I spent some time reattaching it but now my ebrake nor my peddle brake seems to engage the rotor! I can still spin the wheel after the ebrake was pulled up. What am I doing wrong? I can't drive my car anymore =(

Help me out.

Bleed your brakes and fill up the reservoir, make sure there are no leaks at the brake lines or seals on the rear caliper. When you bleed, you should follow the correct sequence, in case you don't know, it is:

1. front left
2. front right
3. rear right
4. rear left

In case you don't know and you don't have speed bleeders or something like it, after you finish pumping, keep the pedal down after the last pump and have your brother tighten the bleed screw before letting the pedal back up.
