    What did you do to them?
    If you completely drained the system of all brake fluid: you need a hookup to BUDS...
    Otherwise; it has to be air in the system somewhere...
    Start from scratch, and see if you can find the error. Good Luck!

    Bleed, bleed and keep bleeding till ya have a good pedal. Get you owners/shop manual out and go by the book as to proper sequence. Good luck and keep us posted on your outcome.

    Default Have to agree...

    if you did not remove fluid or let air get into the system it should pump back up. Now if you have to bleed the system (remember it's all one system) you will have to check all brakes including the rear. Hopefully you don't have to get into the nanny control box cause then you may have to get hooked up to buds.... keep bleeding hopefully it will come back up....
