Default no brake pressure

I had a problem where my caliper stuck. I replaced the caliper and while I was in there it turned into a brake job. ROtors and pads also. As I was doing this I also had the rear calipers off the car. So I put it back together and the pedal will not get pressure. What do I do? I am actually taking it to the shop to get the fluid flushed also. I just need brakes to get there. I know there is a ton of air in the line and since I had the calipers off probably no fluid in them. If I bleed it should this force the fluid to the calipers? Any suggestions?

They have to be bled. You might drive slowly using the hand brake.
You should still have front brakes.

yep alot of air in teh system flushing the system isnt that hard just open up the bleed lines while the cars up and pump the brakes while someone hold a bucket to catch the brake fluid then just fill up and bleed the system.
