Why are the brakes locked up after applying the brakes?

The rod being too long is not allowing the master piston to completely retract after each application of the brakes. As you drive and periodically apply the brakes the pressure is not allowed to completely return to the master. After a few brake applications the pressure is built up enough that the brakes are completely locked.
