Default Noob with brake problems

Hello, and thanks for letting me join the group. I have a 1995 90 Q sedan with 5-speed. The other day, I went to move the car into the garage, and found the brake pedal hard as a brick, and completely ineffective. All it seems to do is give just enough to light the brake lights. Fluid is up to level in the M/C and the ABS reservoirs. I have vacuum at the booster. I've cracked open the lines at the M/C, and the pedal moved. Tightened those, and cracked them at the ABS unit, and the pedal moves. Is there a vacuum leak or a sensor I should be looking for? No one seems to have had this problem before, but I find that hard to believe. Although, with my luck, it's a possibility. LOL. Any help, or pointing in the right direction to proceed, would be appreciated.

Hi hoggryder
Have you checked the rubber hose to the brakes at the wheels
The hose my have closed up and not letting the brake fluid to or from the calipers/cylinders
Or you may have seized piston in the caliper/cylinder

Or jack it up and see if you can spin all the road wheel freely one at a time
