C3-R.com Restoring and Modifying Classic Corvettes



When I first went to see this car and took it for a little spin, I was horrified by the soft brakepedal that went right down only causing minor slowing down effect!!! There was a big hishing sound coming from underneath dash. This turned out to be a leaking brake booster. I bought a brand new replacement with new gasket set. After the installation I finally had brakes!!!

Once I could finalyy get some pressure to the brakes, I started to bleed them. After awhile I noticed that both of the rear brake calipers were leaking! Luckily a local friend had an extra pair going spare. After I installed the new calipers, bled everything again it made a huge difference to the braking!
