      How well does that work after losing vacuum assist?

        Definitely not as well but you can still use them. Cars didn’t even have vacuum assisted brakes up into the 1960s and 1970s

          Yes, and they were designed with that in mind- brake pedals with more leverage for one…

          My mom had a Ford ranger for a while that had lost its brake boost, it took a lot of force to get it to slow down, and that wasn’t even a heavy vehicle, this was back when a pickup was a two-seater…
