I will take the servo off and check. Hopefully that's it, otherwise I will take all apart and check all seals are in and the right way around. It's an original Girling 2B

Thanks for your reply, I tried taking off the vacuum tube but no effect. The car sat on the drive for an hour with the engine off but brakes stayed seized.

Thanks, I opened the bleed nipple on front brakes, it released the pressure and freed up the brakes, I think I could hear the servo ease off. So at least I have been able to roll the car back into the garage! The thing is it was only the fronts - I jacked each corner of the car up to check the rears were free. So question I need to figure out - is it servo or master cylinder?

I am beginning to think my GT6 doesn't like me - drove the car out of the garage applied the brakes and both front brakes are seized solid. I have rebuilt the brakes all around. Including rebuilt master cylinder (new seals) and rebuilt servo MK2b Girling using full seals kit. I assume it will be the servo as it is acting on the front? - any ideas / suggestions much appreciated.

I think my first option is fit the hub with no seal (not permanently of course) at least that will give me an indication the axle is long enough. It is torqued up to 60 lb/ft - removing the old ones was interesting as they both were ruined, hence the reason I fitted new. My concern is it is either the taper on the VL or the taper on the axle that is wrong - but lets measure it first!

Having rebuilt the front suspension, I thought the easy bit was going to be fitting new wheel bearings. Once the hub is on and the castellated nut is fitted I seem to only be able to fit the split pin if I tighten the nut so tight the hub won't spin. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Both sides are the same by the way.
