Front brake problem

[whiteflash]

i replaced my front brake pads, and when i unbolted the hose all the brake fluid came out. I put new fluid in, but now the brake lever doesnt have any resistance, and doesnt sqeeze the pads. what do i need to do....

you bled them?

[JRDrider22]

you need to re-bleed the brakes if you let out all the fluid. you need to build up the tension again from the brake calipers to the brake handel.

Yes, you need to bleed them. I'ts not hard to do but it seems some people have trouble with it.

For future reference when just changing the pads you don't need to remove the brake lines/hoses.
