Brake issues

My 1986 Bronco 2 has some brake problems I think are linked to the master cyl. But I was thinking maybe some of you guys have experienced the same thing.

When i depress the pedal it stays in a ways and you can feel the brakes dragging until you pull the pedal back up with your toe. It also feels like maybe the pedal pivot area might need some lube too because it kinda feels like it sticks when depressing it.

That would be a bad master cyl. Might be a bad booster too, though when they go you usually can hear a leak or the pedal goes to the floor.

Disconnect the vacuum hose from booster. You will have a hard pedal, but if problem is resolved, the booster is bad.
