Having an issue with the brakes not releasing on my 54 c1. I redid all the hydraulics about 2 years ago and the brakes were fine about 6 months ago. Went to drive it a few weeks ago and there were no brakes when pushing the pedal. I thought there was a leak from the master cylinder piston as the fluid was low. Removed the master cylinder and found the small bolts on the reservoir top plate were loose. Bench tested the master, worked fine and no leaks. When bleeding the friend I had pushing the pedal noticed a stiffness as the pedal was descending but this seemed to clear after all wheel cylinders were bled. Went to drive it and the pedal was stiff and not applying the brakes but when pushed harder the brakes worked but would not release. I�ve tried adjusting the push rod in case it wasn�t allowing the piston to fully return. Any ideas?
Cheers, Matt
