Lannis, 
The calipers cannot cause pressure in the system.  Only the failure of the 
master cylinder piston to return fully will cause that problem.  Caliper 
pistons can surety stick, but very rarely would they both do it at the same 
time, and opening a bleeder would not help in that situation.  Be sure that 
your pedal returns completely and that there is very little free travel in it 
when it has returned.  If you look into the reservoir while someone pumps the 
brakes a few times and then gets off of them you should see a spurt of fluid 
rise in the can.  This tells you that the piston has returned and the 
compensation port is open.
