roadside help needed.

[Ado Sigal]

To be able to move the car, one has to undue a bleeding nipple 
momentarily somewhere on the brake circuit, to release the pressure. 
Best on proportioning valve, but elsewhere would also do. After that the 
car can be moved and even driven, but same would happen again, and if 
same pressure release procedure is applied, you'll be able to reach your 
destination.  My problem was combination of "bomb" and proportioning valve.
