If the calipers had been sticking, the car would not have rolled back when
you loosened that second fitting.  For others looking for rebuild kits--check
the "unusual" sources--your local BAP/GEON or BeckArnley outlet--they often
have/can order obscure parts.  Also--check the pushrod fitting from the brake
pedal to the M/C (if it's adjustable--don't know on your car)--if it's out of
adjustment, it can prevent the piston from returning to uncover the reservoir
port.  I recall this problem on my Dad's Triumph.
