You need to properly bleed the brakes. You do this by filling up the brake fluid resivoir then opening the bleeder nipple on your passenger side rear brake caliper. You then have someone pump the brake pedal to push the brake fluid out. Keep doing this until you don't see bubbles. You'll have to keep an eye on the brake fluid level and keep topping it off. Once you don't have bubbles, close the nipple. Then you do the driverside rear, then you do passengerside front, then finally driverside front. Make sure you keep the resivoir full!!!! If you don't, it will suck air in to the system. Make sure you close the nipple when the brake pedal is depressed!

Wait, I just re-read your post.. You have a BREAK in the line, that's why there is air.. Your BRAKES won't work too well if you have a BREAK.
