 It could be that the piston was not returning fully the first time but in =
the process of unbolting the master cylinder the piston got dislodged and r=

Hey guysI have one of the new TRW MCs, and twice now it's locked up the bra=
kes. First time when I backed off the nuts between it and the booster it fr=
eed up, but the second time I had to back off the line to the front brakes =
and when it bled a bit, they freed up. I had noticed the front brakes were =
smoking when I stopped.=C2=A0
Anybody had issue and have any tips for how to fix this one? Easy enough to=
 replace, if necessary, but hate to throw away a brand new one if it's a kn=
own issue/fix.=C2=A0
