    Navy, I've gotta admit when I read that set of instructions that Matt posted I was thinking that he'd hit a home run! I'm still not sure he hasn't, and I'm leaning towards the #2 result of not using the e-brake regularly: [QUOTE-Matthyj]#2 - The sprag will seize on the inside of the piston and will never work again.[/QUOTE]

    I'm wondering if the sprag has not seized in your rear calipers. I think I'd be on the phone to Master Power Brakes to chat with them. Your symptoms seem to fit the description Matt gave to a T.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
