    when you "bleed the brakes" does that mean you are emptying some of that brake fluid out?

      Ah ha ha ha ... dude, hold on a sec ... HA HA HA HA ...
      OK, I'm back. Bleeding the brakes IS NOT LETTING FLUID OUT. DONT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL YOU FIX THINGS. To bleed the brakes, you need two people, brake fluid, a bottle and line, and your wrenches sized to the bleeder screw. It's been discussed several times, it's a universal for any car process, and what you did WAS NOT IT.
      Do a search on the interet or read a Haynes / Chilton's manual. Easy to do.
      Fix your car dude, and don't mess with the brakes next time if you don't know what's up. Good luck.
