Default front brakes dont release

53 ford wagon, power brakes, disc up front drum on back.when i hit the brakes the front wont release, unless i crack open the bleeder screws or wack it a couble of times with the hammer.its a ford set up up front s10 in the rear.replaced both calipers, brake hoses, steel line from the proportioning valve to the t block that feeds the front wheels,mastercyl. i checked push rod lenght also. we did find that the m.c. piston touched the pushrod before the m. c. seated on the booster. so we anded a couple washers on the studs that the m. c. goes on and that made that right. BUT it still wont release. i can pump the brakes get out and open the m.c. and watch the fluid shoot up out of the bowl about a inch high for a minute.even after it does that the pressure is still there.the back dosent seem to be locking up just front. HELP PLEASE. KEN
