When your brakes 'self apply', does the brake pedal become stiff with zero free movement at the pad, and to move the pedal at all requires a very hard push?

If so then you need to adjust the pushrod (the rod between the pedal shaft and the master cylinder), making it shorter until you have at least 5 or 6mm of free play at the pedal pad.

Alternatively you can adjust the 'up' pedal stop outward, though this will raise the pedal further outward from the bulkhead / firewall (the 'up' pedal stop doubles as the brake / stop light switch).
