As far as the brakes, what did you do? Mushy brakes are usually a sign of air in the brake fluid or boiled fluid, did you bleed the brakes?

Yes is is still attached, but I can't move it. I can sort of wiggle it, but not so that it moves profoundly ... it feels like it's still on there strong ... just crooked.
I repacked the front wheel bearings and put in new pads. I did crack the bleeders to push the pistons back so maybe somehow air got in. I was going to flush the whole system anyway, but one of the rear bleeders is broken off ... hence trying to jack up the rear. I haven't touched the rear brakes yet, though, so I'm going to bleed the fronts tomorrow so the car is at least drivable.
