I cracked the lines on both sides of the metering valve and the proportioning valve and each one relieves the pressure on the wheels. So that rules out the valves. I cracked it at the master and that relieved the pressure, so thinking that maybe it was the master I replaced it, however no change. I then loosened the master from the booster and that did not make a difference. I checked the booster push rod and it is adjusted all the way in. So in my mind either the booster rod is incorrect or there is something mechanical in the pedal system that is not pulling back. Any thoughts. Thanks.




Are you using a DRUM/DRUM master or DISC/DRUM master? if your using the original 4whl DRUM/DRUM master, #1 either install the correct DISC/DRUM master or remove the residual valve from the rearward port on the DRUM/DRUM master as that is most likely the cause of your residual front brake lock
