Ok so I put in the ball valve line locks got them all plumbed in bleed etc, when I step on the peddle to engage they ingage strong when I release the ball valve... They stay locked Wtf!? I am running a 67 Vette master and my axles are tons all with disc brakes.... Any clue on what's the dealy?

I have traced it to the master cylinder, the valves work and so does the master in normal operating conditionsjust won't relase off presure after line is in locked.

I have seen some instructions say that to release their valve, you should step on the pedal and then release the valve.

That is odd. A manual valve should just release. All I got to do is flip the switch on mine and off it goes. You doing all 4 wheels? Maybe too much pressure coming back at once. Dunno...

All I can say is Humpy is the man! He figured it out it was help pressure from the pedal
