Forgot to mention that I accidentally put steering fluid into the break fluid area
And I think that is what started this mess. Also I just spoke to another mechanic and he said that the only thing left if probably the Master Cylinder.

Well tah is a helpful bit of info. Did Fires flush out brake system front and rear? If so then what has happened is steering fluid has swelled piston seals in master causing piston to not retract. Also may have affected front calipers if steering was put in both resivors.
