From: Kelly McMullen <apilot2@gmail.com>

Less than 24 hours after bleeding my brakes I was seeing a drip or two from
the infamous Matco parking brake, even though I have only applied foot
pressure to the brake pedals for less than 10 seconds total.
Any body got a mechanically competent, slightly malnourished 10 yr old for
rent? ;-)

Been there and done that. Not a fun job and most definitely painful on the back.
I removed both front seats and control sticks. Put down some pillows and and
blankets which helped a little After dissection of the valve, I found some machining
chips in mine that cut into a O ring which made it leak. The valve shaft
left a lot to be desired also. I polished up the rough spots on the shaft,
cleaned out the valve and reassembled with a new O ring kit. No leaks since. Good
luck.
