Have you changed the flexible hose on the side that is sticking? This
happened to me on a car (Saab Sonett) and the hose was acting as a one-way
valve, apparently because some of the rubber inside the hose was acting as
the flapper. Finally replacing the hose after I'd done *everything else*
fixed the problem. Needless to say, when I rebuilt the brakes on my TR6 a
few years ago, it included new hoses.
