Have you properly bled the brakes? Also, when you pressed the caliper piston back in with a C-Clamp, did you force the fluid back to the master cylender? Are there any leaks?

Let me know. It sounds like you may have damaged the plunger in the master cylender if you forced the pressure back to it. Also, make sure there is nothing leaking.
