just bleed them a whole bunch of times, make sure the bleed valve is tight before you let the pedal back up.

1)loosen
2)pedal down
3)pedal 95% down tighten
4)repeat till pedal is tight

it is a really good idea to bleed all four, but start with the ones you changed, until it feels like it did befire, then do the rear ones. Brake fluid is very hydrostatic, so the back ones will likely push out sick gross water and black sludge.
