Default 98 civic brake lock up.. Already searched

98 DX HATCH

Parts replaced..

Booster
Master
Prop valve from EX
All new lines

Integra rear brakes
EX calipers in front.
97 integra rear trailing arms

1 new rebuilt on front & 1 new rebuilt on rear.

Bled brakes numerous times

Basically, after driving around for maybe 20-30 minutes of driving the brakes lock up, only way to free them is to crack the rear bleeders.

Problem occurred with old booster & new, occurred with DX prop and ex prop.

Any help much appreciated.

Check the adjustment on the shaft going from the brake to the booster. Probably just needs to be loosened up a little bit.

rear flex hose's collapsing maybe ? try cracking the rear lines loose at the prop valve see if there is pressure there. if it was the master it should be one front and one rear as the brakes are run in an x pattern

same thing happened to my friends accord when we did a AT to MT swap, we had tightened down the brake light switch down too far so that the brakes never fully released and slowly got tighter and tighter each time you pressed the peddle
