Re: NO BRAKE PRESSURE!!
how did you manage to lose fluid whist changing the pads ?
sounds like you have air in the system which you will need to bled out

Re: NO BRAKE PRESSURE!!
Pump the pedal several times should be ok.
If not there is a possablity you could of turned a seal in the master cylinder when pushing the pistons back .
Check for any signs of leaking fluid around the calipers.
