quick brake ? 02 Explorer

I just a quick question. I put on new pads, rotors and 1 new caliper on the front of my wifes Explorer. The pedal is real spongy still. I when I got to bleed the line were I replaced the caliper can this just be done with 2 people and no special tools? Also I bleed the line from the smaller fitting on the caliper the one that looks like a grease fitting right? Thanks for the help

You might have some sort of Vacume leak somewhere releasing pressure for the brake system. I've heard of this happening to the 02 and up Explorers.

good you got it fixed and not any of the vacume lines were messed up. Those can be a pain to track down!
