brake problem

[freerider67]

I'm having a brake problem. The brake pedal almost doesn't move and i have to push it with all my strength to get the car to slowly slow down. Has anyone else had this problem?

Your Powermaster may have gone south. Check out the thread titled "Vacuum Brakes"

all right, were your brakes mushy before they got really hard? I had your same problem, and i almost crashed. Real bad. Your accumilator ball is bad. Its the big ball on your power master assy.
I bought a new one and brakes went back to new. kirbain sells them for like 80 dollars.

Might check the fuse too. Prolly the accumlator ball, as mentioned, but it could be the motor went too. Also, check the fluid level....

I got a new accumulator before cause they went out before and it was working great, it's been about a month and it's doin it again. I'll check the fuse. The fluid is full. Would an accumulator go that quick? i don't think so. Any more suggestions of stuff to check?
