pedal sticks

Looking for advice, please. I just bought a 1978 bronco and the brake pedal sticks down when I push on it. the brakes work fine other than I have to pull the pedal up with my foot every time. when it sticks the brakes stay on. thanks

My power brake assembly came off a '78 F150, I'd assume your bronco would be the same style. There is a pivot and linkages in the bracket between the booster and firewall. Mine was sticky when I got it. I lubed it (has a grease zerk) and moved it around. It loosened up good and has worked great for years. Check that first.
