I had my front wheel off earlier today and while I did that stupid me pressed the brake lever. So my question is this, how to I get the pads back apart? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm a noob, and better safe than sorry.

Get a flat blade screwdriver, loosen the bleeder on the caliper(that holds duh pads) pry the pads apart slowly and tighten the bleeder, then release the pressure of the screwdriver. Try to fit the wheel back in, and check your brake fluid level in the master cylinder and top off as needed.
