300E Rear Brake Failure

Hi,

i was changing my brake pads on my 300E 1989, and when i got to the
rear, i couldn't get the pistons to go in because they were stuck.
When i asked the NAPA guy what to do, he asked me if i had taken the
caliper off yet. I decided to go home, and see if i could get it off,
but i removed the wrong bolts, and opened the caliper. My pedal was
then low, so i bled the brakes. This did not help. I replaced the
rear calipers, and bled for hours. No fluid was coming out, and they
are not engaging. Does anyone know what could have gone wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help
