First time doing brakes.

Replaced flex hoses. Took out pads, went to bleed brakes, thinking may as well bleed with pads out to make sure no fluid gets on them. Bleeding RR brake, noticed brake fluid leaking from both front calipers.

Without the pads in, the pistons apparently went too far forward. Does anyone have experience with this goof? Did a simple job just turn into a caliper rebuild, or should I try installing the new pads and expect the piston seals to do their job?
