182 no brake pedal

OE solid brake line serving rear calipers came apart (cordoed where the line rests in the clips) in my hands and lost all the fluid, replaced with new lines. 3 calipers with snapped off nipples - replaced all of those. Used easy-bleed one man kit and have clean, bubble free fluid through coming every nipple now but no brake pedal. Master cylinder through loss of fluid has travelled back to a position it's not been before? thought's? best way forward?

Got pedal back by bleeding manually, schoolboy error of not having the tubing submerged in fluid, ended up with a jelly jar of fluid that looked like a pint of beer there was so much air in it... still needed to have the ABS pump opened with a CLIP to fully restore the brake pedal though. Car now sold.
