Brakes problem
1996 Ford Explorer 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
Yesterday i changed the brake pads out on my 96 ford explorer. In the process i removed the brake line on the driver side caliper. needless to say fluid leaked around and out. before getting to the point, i did put in new pads successfully. for the most part. i reattached the brake line and refilled the brake fluid that spilled out. i tested the brakes and noticed that i could push to the pedal all the way back, it was also not stopping at the response time i liked. i figured i would check it in the morning when it was light out. this morning, i noticed brake fluid was leaking all over the caliper and tire. what could have caused this?
when i reinstalled the brake cable to the caliper, it went bolt, washer, connector, caliper.
