Brakes Won't Work
I had a front right caliper come off because a bolt came loose and caused the other bolt to break off causing the caliper to come loose and lock the wheel up.
I took off the tire and there was no damage aside from the little piece of bolt still in the thread of the caliper bracket. I undid the caliper by unscrewing the brake line, removed the caliper bracket because I thought I was going to have to replace it (didn't have to) lubed the screws/pins and put it back together, drilled the piece out, and then re-screwed it back on and reattached the caliper.
I did manage to squirt brake fluid on the brake pads through all of this.
I bled each line on the front. Now I have no pressure and no brakes. I have a little pressure before I turn the engine and then none once started. The peddle clicks every time I push on it as does the gear shift area.
Any ideas anyone? I appreciate it, thank you!

I presume you have automatic gearbox? Then that clicking noise is a locking pin that holds your shifter in park.
As for no brakes, how did you bleed your brakes and are you sure you got all of the air out? Also you should bleed all four wheels and make sure there's always brake fluid in the reservoir.
