Default am on the correct path

So i just re-installed my front axle, i had to remove my caliper from the break line to get the some stuff done too it. Now i get in and start it up and my break light is on and my e break is down as well as the check anti lock break light is on. Yes i did loose fluid so per the title do i just need to bleed it and that light will go out? My break pedal does suck and is at the floor before i even slow down coming out of my garage. Give me some answers CF....

Bleed the brakes the Brake light will shut off. The Antilock is something else. Check your connections the sensor for damage and the tone ring. Let me know what you come up with.

Darn I forgot if the sensor is part of the whole hub assembly. So you might not see a tone ring.
