hard brake pedal
to my knowledge i dont think i ever had a brake flush yet...im at 80k miles
when i had my brakes done (60k miles) only the left caliper was grinding which i still dont know why ...i sucked all the old fluid and filled with new
pedal was hard at still point i guess
my indy said my brake pins seized up on the left side so he replace them on both sides
then my vaccum pump started to leak oil
i had my mercedes indy replaced the large o ring on the vacumm pump to my knowledge it stopped the oil leaking....good news after the brake pedal didnt feel hard and felt great
about a week later the pedal started to get hard again
thank you

Sammy. If you put your foot on the brake pedal & then start the car does the pedal soften & drop a little? It should. If not likely a booster or vacuum problem.
Also ~ I would expect the pedal to firm up after a brake fluid change & proper system bleed. Does the car stop properly?

hey glen i pushed the brakes then started the car and it did feel alot better after that
doesnt make sense if it was a vacuum problem where the hell is the cel
btw i had a p0600 if this has anything to do with it
