I'm hoping maybe someone can help me. I have a 1982 500SL (grey market) with brake issues. One of the vacuum hoses coming from the brake booster keeps popping itself out. Everytime this happens, It is almost like I lost all the power assist to the brakes and the car is difficult to stop. This vacuum hose is maybe 7" long and connects to a metal tube on the other end. That's the best way I can describe it. Has anyone else ever encountered this problem? I tried bleeding the brakes, but that didn't seem to work. Maybe I didn't do a good enough job. Also, if it makes a difference, this car does have ABS and amazingly, it works.
