Joe

                A long time ago I had a similar problem.    I finally =
found that the spring inside the MC was worn and lost some of its spring =
force thus the internal brake parts were not moving correctly.   I =
located a new spring and rebuilt the MC.  =20

=20

Right now, if you pull up on the brake pedal, will the brakes release?

=20

I think I also bought new springs for the pedals because I thought they =
were on the weak side.

=20

Do you remember when the last time the MC was rebuilt?   Seems like you =
might need to now and be sure to inspect all the MC internal parts.

OK- just saw this note. If you have replaced your flex hoses, then it is =
probably back to looking at your master cylinder.

Please be aware that most master cylinders have an internal =
=E2=80=9Chold off=E2=80=9D check valve to provide a bit of residual =
pressure to keep the seals in drum brake slave cylinders from leaking. =
Be certain you do not have that type of master cylinder if you have disc =
brakes.

week.
