Could someone please explain to me exactly how to bleed the front brakes. I changed my brake pads on my explorer. For some odd reason, after bleeding the brakes, I still had no brakes within a day. I'm not new at this and I believe I bled them in the proper manner so what could I be doing wrong? Please Help!

Exactly what steps did you do in replacing the pads? Did you open the bleeders to push the piston back?
Remove the master cylinder cap? If you forced them back without doing the above, you may have crippled the master. Clamp off all brake hoses and see if you get a pedal, if yes, bleed some more, if no, replace master!
