Hello folks, someone may have an idea. The brakes on my trusty old forklift locked on recently so I removed & cleaned the drums & swapped some springs. Reassembled to find the same result, one pump of the pedal and the brakes locked on. Looked at the booster, it has a little diagonal diaphragm valve on the side of the hydraulic stage with a button in the centre of the diaphragm end cover. I pulled that and released the brakes with a hiss of air. It's not practical to keep doing that! I wonder if I'm up for a booster assembly replacement or if it's a sign of another problem. Booster hoses etc look OK and the master cylinder rod has some slack. Thanks very much!

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
