Default BRAKES.......HELP ?

Hi, I have just changed all 4 discs and pads on my Subaru impreza wrx 2002 bugeye and on the o/s rear caliper were I started I undid one of the bolts that hold the caliper together by mistake and some fluid leaked out, now when I press the brake pedal it is very spongey, do I just do a normal brake bleed starting with the furthest away or is it more complicated because of the ABS. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Rich, do I need to do anything or be worried regarding the ABS or is it just a straight forward brake bleed.

I know we all have to start somewhere but due to the fact you share the road with other people, can I suggest that you book it into a garage to have the brakes check over professionally?

The braking system is quite simple on the impreza but only if you understand how it works.
