I've read all of the excellent advice on this forum, on this subject! - and I really would be grateful for any hint as to what I'm doing wrong. My project car; not been driven for years. It had locked on brakes and having read the advice here I tried releasing the air pressure to the servo - the inlet pipe - which sure enough released the brakes (but then so did releasing air from the white control valve?). So, yesterday I fitted a brand new brake master cylinder. It was the first time I have ever done such a thing, so I'm not saying I got it right, but I followed the WM - although I didn't, as it suggests, remove the heat shield and spacer because a) the last bolt is impossible to get at, and b) I couldn't see the point of doing so. Anyway, today, I bled the system using a 12v device that applies gentle pressure and fresh fluid through the reservoir, and opened up the bleed nipples in turn - got a lot of air out of the fronts, as expected.
Now, all four brakes are locked solid and nothing whatsoever will release them - I've pulled both pipes to the servo, and nothing doing.
What have a I done wrong?
