If you didn't know how to replace brake pads, WHY DID YOU NOT DO SOME RESEARCH ON HOW TO DO THEM.

Oh for christ sakes, you DON'T HAVE TO BLEED THE BRAKES, when replacing your brake pads.

You take the top off of the fluid resevoir and take a little fluid out to compensate for the fluid you will be pushing back into it when you are pushing the caliper back in for the new pads.

I have no idea why you WINGED this job and now you could have really messed it up.

If you or your friends don't know what they are doing, have it towed to a shop seeing if you don't, you could have complete brake failure and you will kill yourself.
