SJM line lock not holding I just installed this and went to test it out and my front brakes try to hold but wont. I bled the brakes at the calipers twice and have a nice firm pedel. When I engage the line lock take my foot off the brake it will not move so it is holding a little but as soon as I gas it it moves.Need some help here, I was wanting to use this tomorrow.

are you pumping the brakes a few times before setting the line lock? Thats the only way Ive seen guys use it. The pump 3 times and on the third pump they hold, then press the button.

Thanks that did it. Wonder why ? Do are car not hold enough pressure in the line with out doing the peddle pumping ? It works that all that matters right now. Now if I can keep the car from going sideways all the time.
