HELP!!!!! Brake question

[2003_GT]

I was changing the brake pads on my GT when i was done i took it out for a ride and it doesnt brake very well the pedal is almost at the floor it feels soft and the e-brake light turns on... Can anybody tell me how to do this job step by step to see if i did it right???

Is the system leaking anywhere? If all you changed were the pads, there shouldn't have been an opportunity for air to enter the system. Maybe you damaged the brake hoses when you had the calipers off. You didn't dangle the calipers by the hoses, right?

I think i did but not on purpose i dont think it did any damage and its not leaking... It feels like only the driver side front isnt working... How do i get any air out of the system???

get a haynes or chilton manual. they both describe how to bleed the brakes pretty well.
