breaks--help please!

so, i tried today to replace my breaks. i first undid the break-line...it was leaking, but i figured i had fluid so this would be okay. i then tried to get off the calipers...to no avail. the bolds wouldnt budge. so, i put the line back on, and put it down...in the meantime, ALL the brake fluid is gone. so i refilled it...anyhow, here are my questions:

1. no breaks. goes straight to the floor. do i have to blead the whole damn system through the bleed bold on the caliper even though i never got the caliper off???

2. how do i get those caliper bolts off? okay, so im going to sound retarded here, but i have to ask. when i LOOK at the calipers, the bolts are on the other side. so, in this case, i turn them RIGHT, correct? logic being that if i were looking directly at the bolt, this would be LEFT. if this is wrong, maybe this is why they wouldnt budge...but i highly doubt it. anyhow, what are some tips to get them off? i tried so hard at one point i went flying backward and ended up laying in my driveway.

anyhow, i need to get this going tomorrow, or else i have no way to get to school on monday. so PLEASE someone help me tonite!!
