- WHY BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD. WEAK BRAKES, HARD BRAKE PEDAL EXPLAINED
If you guys have hard brake pedal and your brakes are weak because the brake pedal is hard we will explain what can cause that. This is a common problem and most of the times indicates a vacuum leak in the engine somewhere. The brake pedal uses the brake booster that is controlled by engine vacuum and often by vacuum pump. Many new cars have vacuum pump as well. That way if you develop a leak the pump can help build extra vacuum. However, there are a few factors that can lead to hard brake pedal and we will share that with you in this video.

Take a shot of vodka every time he says "guys".
I can’t understand his so I wouldn’t know when he said it
In 4 minutes and 47 seconds, you'll be drunk! :-)
@@ferenctulics9688 you spelled "dead" wrong.
Drunk in the first 30 seconds
I’m drunk in 19 seconds he still going guys
I can understand your accent and it is actually soothing. I can see how some people could not understand you though, I am accustomed to the Russian way of speaking.
Straight-to-the-point that's what I like you are the guy
Thank you buddy I understand you. Perfectly
Nice explanation.
Good videos having same issue with my 2015 dart hopefully just a cracked hose thanx 4 the video very helpful an well detailed. Screw all the other negative comments your doing a great job.
thanks guys! You are making my life a little bit easier!
Always accurate advice.
Man I'm learing so much here, I love this channel
!996 Chevy 1500, if you have changed booster and the master cylinder and still have stiff brakes and brakes will not release... TRY THIS.
I had spongey brakes and had replaced booster. rotors and all brake pads. I tested brakes and heard a click and felt a slight click in pedal, this only happened once when pumping the brakes after replacing new parts. I bought new master brake cylinder and tested brakes again. brake pedal stiff and brakes do not release until i bled one brake caliper and or unplugged the vacuum hose on booster, then the brakes released. went back and forth trying to find any issues, bled the ABS valve, still stiff brakes with no release. The remedy/FIX ... I compared the center pin with the old booster pin, ( on the booster that plunges into the master cylinder ) and the new booster pin was 1/16th an inch longer. I swapped out new pin with the old one. brakes work great as they should. Hope this helps someone else with this kind of issue, PEACE
I just had a collision where the master cylinder was pressed on by the fuse box, no noticeable damage to the exterior of the master cylinder but the brake lines were pushed over a little (not pinched).
My brake pedal is acting like the system is not getting enough vacuum, the pedal becomes stiff, BUT the brakes are EXTRA sensitive and do not fully disengage unless I come to a complete stop and force the pedal to the floor for a full range of motion of the pedal. If I'm in slow but moving traffic where I only partially brake, not coming to a complete stop, the brakes stick/drag and if I'm on the highway the truck starts shaking because it's like I'm riding the brakes and they're heating up so I have to pull onto the shoulder, stop completely and fully force the stiff pedal to the floor and release in order for the brakes to release.
The idiots at the dealer said it's not a result of the collision, just a coincidentally failed vacuum pump. They're idiots, the brakes work, TOO good, the OPPOSITE of what happens with low vacuum. but the pedal is stiff, the breaks are SUPER touchy.
What's the deal? Before I go play process of elimination, throwing random parts at the problem.

Does these air- escape cracks cause affect the abs unit? As my abs light stays on in dashboard
I have a 1994 Ford E150 van i ready change the master cylinder and the brake booster and still a little hard no the way was before what also can i do to fix the brake problem

Very nice video my pedal feels fine have power stop rotors and no real braking occurs will check hoses👍
I got all new pads and rotors and now when I got the brakes it goes to the floor making a hard grind. Do you suggest ba brake fluid flush
I'm driving a 2016 Chevy Cruze and a vacuum pump went out when I took it off it had shattered pieces out of the vacuum pump that connected to the cam I took as many of the pieces out of the block as I can but my question is well the rest of the Pieces Just Fall Down to the oil pan and all I need to do is give an oil change please get back to my message I really appreciate it
Great Job

My 93 Ford Mercury Capri is a light car with new brakes and rotors and I have to stand on the brake pedal to stop
Almost no one talks about cars that dont have a brake booster😢
my pedal is complete normal, but when i put new pads on and compress my piston, i have a nasty smell from the one wheel, and when i slam the brakes its coast to a stop.
Fiat Fiorino 2009 .. Sometimes there is freezing in the brakes
Bro I was driving on the road, and out of nowhere my shit got stiffffffff

Great video but in reality it can be quite hard to check all that with the engine still in the car. I'm struggling with mine
