Bob,
I've seen this problem before.  Unfortunately it was many years ago and my 
recollection of specifics is pretty vague, but here goes anyway.  The unit 
contains a spring.  As I recall, the spring is made of a piece of flat 
spring metal.  If I recall correctly it's stirrup or 'C' shaped.  The 
problem occurs if the spring is installed upside down - it's easy to do.  If 
upside down, the spring has no effect and the valving in the servo can lock 
up.  Remedy - open the servo up and turn the spring over.

Hope this helps - Will

I have rebuilt my servo and when I have the engine running and put on
the brakes then let off the pedal the brakes hang up (stay on). If I
shut the engine off the brakes stay on unless I push the pedal then they
go off; any ideas or should I toss the unit and go to a dual master
cylinder which may increase my probability of not running a yellow
light?
