E-BRAKE WON'T RELEASE! HELP!

Okay. I removed the caliper totally and pushed in the piston. Once the piston was retracted I put on my new brake pads. I used my old hardware because I couldn't find anyone to sell new ones. I bleed that one caliper on the passenger side and put it back together. I then did the other side but I didn't take the caliper off of the driver side. Once I finished, I pumped the brakes till they hardened but when I turned the car on they became loose and they did not engage.

Any suggestions? I've been working it for a few days and it really sucks not being able to drive myself to work.

That sounds like you have air in your brake lines. Did you bleed the brakes?
