When I have my foot on the brake and I release it it doesn’t move after awhile. I already changed the calipers front and back, and it seems to be doing the same. I was told it may be brake booster but I really don’t know where to go or if this has happened to anyone and can give me a really good advice, I would truely apppriciate!

  1. Try loosing the master cylinder from the booster and placing some shims between the master cylinder and the booster. I/16 will do. It sounds like the rod in the cylinder isn’t letting the piston come back in the cylinder enough for the fluid to go back in the hole into he cylinder bore. If it’s a 4 wheel drive, check the flex brake hose going to the front axle from the frame. It may be partially collapsed inside. Otherwise, replace the booster.
