Was the valve removed from the master cylinder to allow the fluid to bleed back. Maybe it still has the drum brake setup in the master cylinder.

Hey Jimmy
Ihave had that prob before in my case it was caused
by tapered pads making the caliper piston bind and nothing
short of levering it back would release the pads including
releasing the bleed did you use new pads or second hand ones?
cheers c

You are right opening the bleed nipple should release the pressure, I assume you cracked both front and rear.
Are all the wheels locked or just one? If one it could be a piston stuck in one of the wheel cylinders not allowing the brakes to ease off.
