1998 CHEVROLET LUMINA

I have a 1998 chevy lumina and recently got in a minor accident witch I had to change the sub frame, tie rods, ball joints, both front struts. I then was about to bleed both the front wheel because I took off both calipers and I tried but the brakes wont grab. I asked around and people told me that it was the master cylinder witch I changed and yes I bench bled it but still the brake wont grab. So I asked again and they told me it was the brake booster so I changed it but no luck either. Then finally they told me the abs module so I changed it and a mechanic was helping me but we didn't have no luck either. We checked all fuses and they were good. I have no idea what else it could be. I need help. Any suggestions?

Do you get good fluid flowing while bleeding the brakes?

Yes. Even the mechanic told me that there is no air in the lines. I tried so many things and nothing works. Is there some kind of reset or something like that. I don't have the abs light on either. I tried to remember if I disconnected any brake stuff while replacing all the stuff I mentioned and the only thing I did was just both front brake lines. I don't have leaks also.
