Lot's of brake questions this weekend. Must be a lot of us struggling.

I replaced two calipers, one front, one rear. After much bleeding of those two I still have no pedal resistance. I can't bleed the other two because the head snapped off the first bleed screw I tried on those old rustys (but it didn't open and isn't leaking). I'm afraid to touch the other old bleed screws.

So my question is: Could air have leaked far enough in when I change the two calipers that air got all the way into the other two corners so they MUST be bled too? I've run three quarts of DOT4 through the other two calipers and I'm not getting any more air out of them. If I have to bleed the other two, I think I'll have to get two more new calipers first.
