spongee bob

when i was putting back my shoe assembly i accidently knocked one of the pistons out of the wheel cylinder and a bit of brake fluid leaked out. now my brake feels spongee and i was thinking some air might have got into the system due to my clumsiness.

questions. do i have to bleed the one brake only or bleed the entire system? can air going into the system through one brake have such a dramatic effect on brake feel like that? it feels like my pedal goes all the way to the floor now.

Air in the system will give you that feel. I would bleed all the lines to be safe.

you need to replace the cylinder...chances are your drum is full of fluid.
