Is the system leaking anywhere? If all you changed were the pads, there shouldn't have been an opportunity for air to enter the system. Maybe you damaged the brake hoses when you had the calipers off. You didn't dangle the calipers by the hoses, right?

get a haynes or chilton manual. they both describe how to bleed the brakes pretty well.
