It's unfortunate that you didn't aske the 'How do I replace my rear pads' question here before doing the job. It's a 5 minute per side job after the wheel is off.

You only did the rears, They are easier to bleed then the 3 bleeders per caliper fronts.

put a little brake fluid in a small bottle A WonTon soup container works for me.
Get a hose (small gas line or windshield washer hose) that fits on the bleeder. Put the hose on the bleeder with one end in the soup container, making sure the end is in the fluid. go in the car and pump the brake pedal about 7 times, go out and tighten the bleeder before taking off the hose. Refill the Brake reservoir and do the next bleeder.
see what that does for you.
