[Healeys] Brake servo

[David Nock]

The brake hoses probably will not fix your problem. If the hoses were  
the problem then you would only have one front sticking on or both  
rear. It is not very likley that all three rubber hoses will have the  
same problem at the same time.  If all the wheels are locking up and  
the pedal is hard there are only two things that can cause this.  
Either the master cylinder has no free play or the servo is sticking on.

If the pedal did not move when you started the engine with your foot  
on the pedal then the problem is in the servo.
