I tried trouble shooting according to the factory service manual, but couldn't figure it out. any ideas?

Did you do a visual check on the hard lines to make sure they aren't pinched? always working Re: '95 4runner brake problem stiff pedal [Re: Macka] #1011951 10/31/10 03:49 PM Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 199 marysville, ca gueroblanco OP Wheeler yes checked and bled the lines yesterday. also inspected the rear brake adjustment. the fluid wasn't the worst I've seen and the rear brakes seemed good. seems to me that it has got to be a bad booster? when i press the pedal it doesn't 'pump up' like it used to. when i pump several times, hold down the pedal and start the engine there is no change in pedal height. the booster pushrod couldn't get out of adjustment could it?
