100% agreed, the original post is useless regarding any info that would lead to a reasonable answer.

Re: problem bleeding the brakes

Maybe you got air into the master cylinder when you unhooked the calipers and the fluid went too low. It would need to be bled at the ABS unit. There should be bleeders there. They are hard to get to but can be bled manually.
