First time ive done the rears on a scooby so dont take the p**s too much. I undid the 4 bolts on the rear caliper thinking that this would allow the caliper to be removed so new pads could be fitted as I did on my last car. I didnt notice that you only need to remove the 2 pins on the top to get the old pads out, as I was gently helping the pins out with a hammer I noticed brake fluid dripping from the bottom of the caliper, I immediately put the 4 bolts back in and the dripping stopped. Now the brakes feel very poor and the pedal goes almost to the floor before anything happens, I suspect that air entered the system when I took out the 4 bolts, is it as easy as just bleedidng the rear brakes or do I need to do anything special.

try re-bleeding and this should sort it....................you may have broken a seal, but would think it'll be fine...................
