Re: front brakes keeping locking up

Both front tires lock up ?   Tho normally master cylinders dont cause locking like this unless the plunger inside is sticking or air in the lines.  If it was sticking then the brake peddle would have a lot of play in it when the brakes lock up.   Poss that your getting sort of a vapor lock on the brakes.   Does it do it under light braking or just harder braking ?   Take a few mins and a quart of brake fluid and flush the whole brake system.   There is a bleeder on the bottom of the master as well.
