<DIV>Was there any work done to the brakes recently? 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.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hello Everyone.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I finally had a chance to take the TR6 out last Sunday.
I had an issue with the brakes. The front brakes locked up. Each
time I applied the brake they just locked up tighter. I haven’t had much of a
chance to trouble shoot the problem but it appears that the brake fluid is not
returning back into the reservoir. I did crack the line at the master
cylinder for the front and the pressure differential valve. Some fluid
started to come out of each one but I closed them both quickly after a few
drops. Didn’t make a difference, could be because I didn’t let enough
out.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Before I tear the entire system down any suggestions as to
what the problem could be? This might be an opportunity to rebuild the
system and replace the fluid with silicone and rebuild
everything.<o:p></o:p></P>
