Default New axle now no brakes

I have just replace the front drivers side axle on my 89 civic std hatch. After reinstalling the axle we put the brakes back on abd they were rubing. We then took the calipers off. Now once the brakes are pressed the pressure stays and the brake is locked up. Then i hit the brakes again and the little brake cyender cup poped completly out and brake fluid gushed out. How do i fix this? ASAP

pop in back in and bleed the brake lines. NEVER step on the brake while it is out of the rotor. Use a big *** piler to squeak the cylinder the caliper in when you can't do it with your hands

Anyways, if that is the case, do what i said earlier. My stupid gay friend did this to his accord.

Make sure that the cylinder seal is not rip when you put it back in.

why did you take the brakes off to change the axle to begin with?
