After replacing rear brakes the brakes are now squishy How do you fix this problem?

Bleed the rear brakes and add new brake fluid. Typically the brakes feeling as if they give too much or "squishy" is from small air bubbles in the brake line...so by bleeding and adding new fluid you let out the small bubbles which cause the squishiness.
When you changed the brakes many people tend to hit the line as well as not clamp them properly and therefore render the brakes "squishy".
Hope this helps.

It may need adjusting. The rear brakes may be excessively worn, and need replacing. The rear brakes may be incorrectly assembled following (in-expert) servicing or repair. A component in the rear brakes may have malfunctioned. The most likely reason is that one of the hand-brake cables is broken.
