Folks, any one have an easy solution to this problem?

1. Brake pedal hard as a rock - very little movement

2. Jacked up the car one wheel at a time.  Found:

a) Passenger side rear binding - unable to rotate by hand (locked up)
b) Driver's side rear binding - was able to rotate by hand but with much force
necessary
c) Both front wheels would rotate by hand but took some force. (I'm not sure
how much force would be appropriate for the disk brakes).

d) Handbrake cable loose at both rear wheels

Accorrding to Haynes this looks like a problem in the Master cylinder by-pass
port.

Any suggestions/quick fixes.  "Hope springs eternal." :-)  Cheers. TIA
