Brake servo.
Try stopping the engine then gently pressing the pedal severs times.
If they release and the pedal drops noticeably that's the problem.

Subject: [Healeys] Brakes sticking
A problem developed with the brakes sticking on. Have recently installed ne=
w ceramic brake pads. It was a tight fit with the added felt type backing? =
I used the metal shims also? The rubber diaphragm in the brake booster(Loc=
kheed)was also replaced. It was torn and leaked. Used Lucas brand Dot 4 fl=
uid. System is well bled. Stopping is very good.
=20
The calipers were rebuilt with stainless pistons and all rubber hoses and =
some steel lines were replaced. New rear wheel cylinders. This was done in =
2002.
=20
New pads have about 7-800 miles. Break in as per instructions. Drove to E=
nclave and noticed the sticking when in stop and go traffic on a very hot d=
ay. Temp gauge reached 212 at times. This is when the problem starts, in tr=
affic, gauge temps over 190, very hard pedal develops.
=20
Noticed after these runs both front wire wheels are very hot to the touch. =
Back wheels normal.
=20
=20
No sticking in cool ambient temps and gauge reads normally 180-190.=20
