7711 brakes staying on

[jsavage]

I changed the brake slave cylinders on my 7711. The brakes work great now, but after a few pushes of the pedals the brakes stay on. I have to bleed the slave cylinders to release the pressure. Why are the cylinders not bleeding back?

You might have kinked a brake line. Under the gland nut is a typical place where a brake line twists, when loosening it.

I checked both sides and there are no kinks. It worked with the old cylinders. What's different? I changed the old ones because they leaked. Maybe I should have rebuilt instead?
