I recently had to change the fuel pump because it stop working it completely shut my car. so I change the fuel pump once car turn on I notice the brake where really hard! To the point that the car wouldn't want to move gear. Bleed the brakes the gears move but the car seem to not move on drive nor reverse. we also tried to move it on neutral but that didn't work either has been a couple of days the car turns on great just the it wont let me drive the car. if the brakes do soften a little it will move a inch but than seems to stop again also the brakes get hard once more. Any Ideas?

Hello,

Did you happens to change out the master cylinder before this happened? It sounds like the push rod for the booster is too far out not allowing the master to fully retract trapping fluid pressure inside the system. Loosen the master mounting bolt 3 turns to see if the car will roll again. Please report back.
