Brakes not working after caliper replacement

Thank you, those are the small details I was looking to figure out. I wasn?t sure when to have my friend release the brake pedal. Also, when my friend goes to press the brakes down a bit, should he pump it a few times first, or just press it halfway down?

Yes, it's a good idea to pump the pedal a few times before bleeding. As Lando says. It's very important to close the bleeder before the pedal returns. In addition dont' forget that if it's an old master cylinder you only have a small area to move the pedal as you don't want the internal pistons in the master cylinder to move past their normal wear area.
