Question on Brakes

[Ford_Racing_Guy]

ok so last week i finished putting my Explorer back together,

on one caliper before putting it back on i had to squeeze the piston back in so i could get it back over the rotor,

so then when i went to drive it before i put it in gear,
i pumped the pedal a few times to get fluid back into the caliper,

but now the brakes don't feel like they are 100% compared to before,

should i bleed the brakes to see if this solves the problem?

you did drain some of the resivor before you compressed the piston right. check the fluid first then bleed the brakes and go from there
