Brake help
To start off, the other day I noticed a brake leak from one of my front calipers so I went out and bought new fronts today and put them on. Used a one man brake bleeder and bled the front, tried to do the rears but the bleeders are stuck so i will work on the again tomorrow and re bleed the system. Any tips to get those undone would help they are stripped a bit, but finally my main question is about the dash brake light, it came on shortly after I noticed the leak and now it wont go off. Why?

you will have to heat / lubricate the bleeders and use a quality 6 point socket to break them loose. dont use a cheap socket and dont use a 12 point. once loose , replace them with a fresh set of stainless bleeders.
the brake light is on because you dont have sufficient brake fluid pressure in the lines/system. you need to bleed them from the rear pass caliper first and use a friend to help. then the drivers rear, then the pass front, and lastly the drivers front. in the rears you should bleed the insides first and then the outsides. the fronts only have a single bleeder on the inside.
