Glad you got it figured out! I had a similar issue on my truck. Gotta stick with AC Delco on stuff like this I guess!

Any updates to this issue, Dan? Very odd problem you're having. Did you ever find a fix?

I have an Edlebrock Performer intake, however, from what I understand, power increases are negligible. The stock intake is aluminum, and already pretty good. Changing the heads, and a true-dual exhaust are where the big gains are.

GTR1999, The horseshoe clip is there, holding the rubber hose, but is not visible at that angle. The e-brake clip has sheered off, and apparently that isn't the first time. It looks like somebody welded in a replacement and that broke too! But when I pull the E-brake the car stops so I know...

Well, I had great success using a Heli-Coil. I know that wasn't the recommended fix, but the packaging for the Heli-Coil kit even said it was great for caliper mounting brackets. It was so much easier than I thought. I didn't know the mounting holes could be drilled from either side, and after...

Thanks for the info guys. Wish I didn't have to press out (and then in) the bearing to get the bracket off... I might as well just replace it if I went that far, which I don't want to do. Wish me luck! -Tatortot

I had to replace my right-rear caliper last week, but when I went to tighten the right mounting bracket bolt (towards the front of the car) it didn't feel "right." I decided to check on it again and now I can feel that the bolt hole appears to be stripped. I went as far as replacing the bolt...

Here's a picture of the new caliper. You can see what the brake cleaner did....

I assume paint, as the brake clean I sprayed on it clouded the finish ;LOL -Tatortot

It worked! The brakes feel great again. Thanks for all the tips! Now to tackled the front. dougelam: She's all buttoned up right now so no pics handy. But this is the caliper I ordered.

Thanks for the info, Hib. I will do just as you said. Thanks! -Tatortot

Fantastic replies from all. You guys are absolutely correct in that the Mity-Vac is a waste of time. I had my girlfriend pump the brakes as I bled and it got MUCH better. The brake light even went out. However, the pedal still goes to the floor. It stops, but it can be better. I bled each...

After discovering the brake fluid in my vette was at least 6 years old, and seeing that it was no longer clear, I decided I wanted to change the brake fluid out. The method I was going to use was gravity bleed through the rear calipers first, but making sure the fluid never got empty at the M/C...
