997 vacuum hose/braking problem

I have a 2005 997/2. Recently finding very hard to brake so found a split pipe at the rear alternator, so I changed that. But made no difference. Anyone out there had similar experience? Any ideas?
Thanks
Ray Bacon

it is common for the pipe that comes from the vacuum pump to have a split.  It’s normal practice to replace this line when the pump is replaced.  I suspect this is your fault.

Thanks. I replaced the one adjacent to the alternator, so the pump must be at the front end. I appreciate your advice. 
Thanks again.
