i just replaced my calipers and rotors and when i went to pump up the brakes the pedal goes all the way down to floor i cant get the brake pedal to be firm. The fluid dosent change but my drivers side brake is fine theres fluid in it but my passenger side isnt pumping up. What is wrong ive been doing my brakes for 3 weeks and i want to get them done.

Air in the line? Sure you put the caliper on correctly? Might want to retrace your steps and double check it. If you haven't downloaded the shop manual, download it here: http://www.pauldesign.ru/honda/shopmanual/brakes.zip

when ever you remove calipers or allow air to get inside brake lines, you should always bleed them afterwards.
it is not hard, just get a friend or someone to help you.

Bleeding is easy!
open bleed valve while someone pumps... do this several times...fluid should come out with no bubles before you stop
there should be a procedure in haynes or chilton..
