How do you bleed the brakes on a 1973 Corvette?

Answer 1

You would start with the left rear and open furthest bleeder and let gravity flow bleed the line. With engine off, have some ready to push the brake peddle down when you open the bleeder. (furthest on caliper) When you open bleeder have them push down and hold until you close bleeder. Continue until no air comes out, and rotate through the other two bleeders. Never have him let up on peddle until you have bleeder closed. Then continue same process on rt. rear, then move to lt. front, single bleeder and rt. front. I will some times start car and do same process afterwards in the same way. If for some reason you need to change the rear calipers never go by what the books say. Impossible to slide pads in while calipers on, no way to push all four pistons back and put in pads, no room. Put you calipers together first with pads and pin. Then open bleeders and from the top simply push pads back and slide calipers over rotors and bolt on.
