need to bleed your brakes

And the reason we bleed our brakes is...

If you removed the caliper and some brake fluid leaked out, then you more than likely have now introduced air into your brake lines.

Air is fantastically compressable, and brake fluid isn't, which is why we use brake fluid in our lines and not air. When you push on the pedal, all you're doing is compressing the air, rather than forcing brake fluid into the caliper.

If you could push the brake pedal far enough, the air would eventually compress to the point that the brake fluid started to compress as well, at which point your brakes would work again.

Bleeding the brakes to get rid of the skunky old brake fluid should be an annual job. See my FAQ for how to do it the easy way.
