So don't open it all the way then? And do I need to repeat the process?

sorry for the double post but I wanted to update this. I did way ray said. Pumped the brakes 10 times held on 11 and opened bleeder and tightened it right back up when the flow started to die down. No results. Took the car out going less tha 5 mph. When I pump the brakes I have pressure and plently of braking power. However if I drive for like 10 seconds and then hit the brakes the pedal goes all the way to the floor and it takes too long to stop or actually start stopping. Does this sound like air in the lines? Like I said if I brake constantly it works fine and there is perssure. However when I actually drive and hit the brakes there is hardly any braking.

Damn! I've only worked on the front right so far. That is where I started and the one where the piston came out. I have a friend who knows what hes doing coming over to give me a hand after school tomorrow so I'll post back them. Hopefully he can figure it out, he asked his neighbor who is a mechanic and he said I just need to bleed the lines more.
