Sorry, couldn't help my self. I would start with the simple stuff. Is the master full of clean fluid? Is there a leak? Did you get all the air out of the lines? Do the wheels spin freely? Did you leave a line clamp on? Is the pedal firm?

Try relieving the pressure by unscrewing the bleeding screw, then gently pry the brake pads (being careful not to damage anything) until the caliper compresses. You will have to bleed the brakes again...The rule of thumb is to bleed the caliper farthest from the master cylinder...

just lifted up on the ass end and spun the tires and the spin with no resitance . but when i look at the pads they look like there firm against the disc. so my question for this is how far are the pads suppoesed to be from the disc?
