So. I have fitted a brand new brake cylinder in the (front) wheel. Bled the system and the brake works but does not release. The handbrake has been disconnected where the cables meet under the bonnet (pivot pin out).
Also the brake does release if I crack the bleed nipple off which leaves me to believe fluid may not be returning to the master cylinder.
Should I be thinking it's a master cylinder issue or something else?
Just in case anyone is wondering I have backed off both adjusters and the wheel spins freely (until I hit and release the brake pedal).
I have ruled out the new brake cylinder pistons seizing up on the basis the brakes let go when I crack off the bleed nipple. So I'm assuming the (Bosch) cylinder is okay.
Any thoughts gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
