I have new wheel cylinders, brake hoses, shoes, master cylinder, blue brake hose from reservoir. I need to have my brake pedal adjusted with some push rod pressure applied to piston in master cylinder to achieve a front brake pressure. They feel absolutely great, however doing so creates some constant pressure to rears, and they'll drag slightly and my brakes lites flicker on occasionally. If I back the pedal off to relieve the pressure, I immediately lose any front braking action. I initially replaced the master cylinder, thinking that has to be the problem, but got the same results. I still think with my symptoms, it has to be the master cylinder. I guess I could have gotten a bad replacement? Any similar problems or thoughts? Thanks again for a reply
