Hey, I was tinkering around with my '42 project truck and accidentally pressed in the brake pedal which will now not release back. What are my options for re-releasing the brake?

Odd thing to me is in the late 1960's when disc brakes became more common I remember being told/sold that discs were so much more efficient that power brakes were no longer needed.

Should be a return spring on the pedal linkage? I believe.
