Jesus christ, if you don't know that you need to bleed brakes after changing them you shouldn't be doing it. Not to be one of these moany wankers but you could end up killing yourself or someone else.

That just releases the pressure, you're meant to do that first.

no it doesn't, wont matter if you leave the cap on, when you push the pistons back the fluid will still come out of the cap
