If they were solid before the pad install somebody got air into the lines somehow.
If the hoses are old you might want to replace them with new hoses,maybe stainless steel braided lines?

Try bleeding your brakes.

+1 on bleeding the lines...and get some extra fluid just in case you're low or lose too much.
