No pedal at all,or lots of travel ?
With or without engine running ?

It could be the seals are shot in the master cylinder,or have torn / failed since trying to bleed it after swapping axle.

If you clamp the flexi’s to rear axle (without damaging them) do you have same fault ?

You should have flexis between body and axle,and again between axle and callipers ?

If you’re getting lots of travel,are you sure the rear pads are in correct,with the locating peg on inner pad lined up with cut out on the piston ?
