When you apply the brakes and set the MICO lock, don't be stomping the pedal through the floor! The mechanical MICO locks need to have MORE foot pressure on the pedal to release than was originally applied to set the MICO on. One of our local fellas with a wrecker always had to bleed a rear wheel to get his to unlock because he stomped down so hard on the pedal to set it in the first place. I got him to only apply 'firm' pressure and it has unlocked every time since. YMMV.
