Vlad,
   Make sure to open the bleeder valve on the caliper.  Likely, the car is on jackstands, so the proportioning valve is fully closed, so the fluid has nowhere to go.  Of course, after you get the calipers in you'll need to bleed the rear lines, but I always end up bleeding all lines after brake work, just in case.
