Narrative:
I was cleared to hold short of runway xxr. Upon approaching the hold short line brakes were applied; however the right brake failed to operate. In fear of departing the taxiway; I released the left brake and pumped the right brake. After a few pumps it operated normally and I reapplied the left brake and brought the aircraft to a stop approximately 15-20 ft past the hold short line. Approximately fifteen seconds after coming to a stop the tower directed the landing aircraft to go-around.I was then cleared across xxr to hold short of xxl. The tower said I was holding too far back. I had not stopped; but was taxiing very slowly to insure the brakes were still working; so as not to cross the hold short line of xxl. Taxi to and takeoff from runway xxl was completed without further incident. Upon arrival at home base the airplane was grounded for a brake inspection.
