If all you did was take rear tire assembly off and did nothing to the brakes then there may not be anything wrong with the brake. Try pumping the brake pedal a bunch of times as far as it will go with your hand with every thing assembled back together.
Sometimes the brake pads get forced open the maximum travel away from the rotor when trying to put them back on the rotor. The brake fluid is forced up into the reservoir and it takes several pumps to get the pads moved out to where they are touching the rotor. Once they are forced out against the rotor they should work and not need the pumping. Unless somehow air got in the system. Which doesn't sound like in your case happened. rj
