Put the car back together take it too your local brake specialist, get them to bleed it, the best $20-$30 you will ever spend, no aggression, no lying on the floor, no spilled brake fluid. Doogie |

i find the best way is: no need to jack car up do all nipples up fill reservoir with fluid get someone to continually pump the pedal, about once every second you get under car open one nipple slightly watch it spurt out and get the timing close at half the spurt turn wheels max to get to front nipples do up with little spanner very messy put rag under and dont wear long sleaves/watch remember to adjust the brakes after, non adjusted brakes wont eat and you'll blame the nipple bleeding |

it looks like your way will be definitely much cleaner than the one ive described you can even do that yourself as well i say it will work. |
