126 Soft brakes

So today I changed my brake pads on my 86 300SDL...first of all, these have got to be the most annoying pads in the world to change!! Second, whats weird to me is that after I changed the pads, now the brakes seems to be too soft...almost as if they wouldnt fully bring the car to a stop in an emergency but still stop the car.

I dont know why though...I didnt open up the system to change the pads...how could air get in?

However, when I changed the pads, to get the piston to recede so I could slip the caliper back on the rotor I used a C-Clamp...would that have made air enter the system?

What do you think?
