I took the hose off of the master cylinder for the brakes and now the brake pedal is super stiff. Don't kill me cuz i'm a noobie to fixing my car myself. Thanks for your help in advace

 

What hose? The vacuum hose to the booster? Did you put it back on? I don't understand your question. Need more detail.

 

you took the master cylinder off the firewall? whoah!

 

More info please....

 

I be needin' some HO's ridin' my Master Cylinda', YO!

 

Sorry about the slow reply, I've just been out of town. The hose I'm talking about is a vacuum hose in the center of the master cylinder that connects to the intake manifold. When I took off the hose I heard the pressure release. I took it off to resleeve it. I put it back on and now my pedal is super stiff. Do I just have to bleed the brakes?

 

when you turn your car on, your brake pedal might sink to the floor...that's ok though; the mc/booster will build pressure back up and go back to feeling normal. You don't have to re-bleed anything at all. No fluids at all, comes out of that vacuum line you took off.

You're gonna be ok,newb.
You're in good hands
