What causes rock hard brake pedal?
Vacuum – or really lack of vacuum pressure – is the most common cause of a hard brake pedal, and therefore the first thing to look at when a hard pedal is present. Any brake booster (whether from Master Power or any other supplier) needs a vacuum source to operate.
How do you fix a hissing brake booster?
In some cases, you may have a cracked O-ring from your brake booster that could cause a vacuum leak within the brake system. This will cause a hissing noise as air is released from the brake system. Replacing or repairing this O-ring can fix this type of problem.
