i just changed my rear brake pads, i also flushed the brake lines. i have to push hard on the brake pedal to get any braking power. what could this be?

Air in the line or the bleed bolt is loose. .. .check that, if not check lines for leakage. .. .if not that then good luck.

when you screwed in the rear pistons, did you keep the rear piston boot nice and unwrinkly?

Or bleed again so they clamp a little harder with less pressure.

I had to bleed my system 3 times to get all my air out. I'd try bleeding some more.
