Hard brakes go to bad vacuum system or bad diaphragm in the booster. With the motor running pull off the soft line to the booster and see if there is a good suction sound. Then put your thumb over it and see if it has good neg. pressure. if it does then go to the booster. If it doesn't go backward from the booster line to the vacuum block on the fire wall and pull the large line that goes to the vacuum pump on the front of the motor do the same test as above.

Just got done fixing this problem. It was my vacuum pump. Second time I changed mine past couple years. Those are the exact symptoms I had. Fixed instantly. As long as your pedal eventually come back up and doesn't stay stuck to the it's likely not the booster. Let me know if you need any help. Got mine off eBay for $30. Expected it to last for few thousand. I barely drive it so don't care but still going strong! The expensive one went too, so I figured might as well do the cheaper one if the expensive one fails every few years.
