This is a little odd, brake was pulling on driver's front. I replaced the hose and still pulling but not as bad. Went to the passenger rear and bled brakes, got pressure up, did the drivers side rear.... reversed the car out into the cul-de-sac, shifted to 1st and front brake pulled down hard on driver's side. tried a couple of more times and would not go forward. Moved back in reverse 4 feet, tried going forward and it went about 4 feet and drivers brake pulled down and stopped. Eventually was able to get the rear turned around 4' at a time and back in the garage. BUT, how in the world if the brake is locked am I going in reverse? Before I start taking things apart, anyone else have this problem, locked forward, reverse works? Understand, I am 50 years late on learning to work on old cars but enjoying it, when they work! Thanks.

Problem: The car cannot be driven because the brakes lock on after a few presses of the pedal. I've put new rubbers in the drums and master cylinder. I believe the problem is related to the return valve in the master cylinder but after adjustment per the manual the pressure release port is still inoperative although after much adjustment the port opens but not at the time it should. Can anyone help me understand what's happening here and how to fix it? Thanks!
