x2 just bleed them... and hope to god your rear wheel cylinder bleeder screws don't break... if they do just get new wheel cylinders (fairly cheap)

It sounds like the rear piston on your master cylinder could be stuck, remove the master clyinder and remove the circlip and slide out the piston, the rear piston seal is prpobably stuck in the bore, take an airline and blow air into the hole for the rear brakeline, watch out though!!! the piston will fly out fast! put a rag over the end to catch the piston and the fluid, clean out the master cylinder bore with soapy water and clean the piston assy with soapy water, dry and reassemble, put a little brake fluid on the seals to help ease it back into the bore, then bleed rr lr rf lf
