There is an adjustment between the booster and the Master Cylinder on the booster side which if not correct allows the MC to keep pumping fluid into the system since the MC does not fully release and allow the fluid to flow back to the reservoir. Crack the fittings and allow all of the pressure to release (catch the fluid as it will eat away your paint). Does that release the calipers? If not the frozen calipers and or rubber lines are the issue as Dave has noted.<br><br>From: Ron Olds <br>Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 4:59 PM<br>To: Triumphs (triumphs@autox.team.net) ; 6pack@autox.team.net <br>Subject: [TR] TR6 Brakes<br><br>Hello Everyone.<br><br> <br><br>I finally had a chance to take the TR6 out last Sunday.
