    Fresh C3 brake problems

    I found the problem, and it was just as I suspected. Air had blown out one of the lip seals and split it cleanly, the caliper housing o-rings were intact. Luckily, RockAuto had sent me a defective kit so I ended up with a few spare lip seals after I received the other wheel's kit. So thats one...

    Fresh C3 brake problems

    So I've gone and made myself some new problems I found my front calipers to be leaking, and suspecting the obvious, opted to remove and inspect the inside of the caliper piston bores. Sure enough, there was a decent amount of fluid dripping from the piston seals. The calipers had been sleeved...

    Starter reinstallation issues

    no the battery cables connected to the battery itself were fine I had the ground cable from the starter solenoid on top of the positive battery jumpers instead of below it on the post sticking out of the solenoid. No wires to my knowledge were fried in this particular attempt at fixing it.

    Starter reinstallation issues

    I'm a dope, I fixed it though. Turns out it had the battery jumper and the ground in the opposite order that they came off. Switched them and it turned over like a dream. I probably didn't strictly need to replace the starter, but the new one kicks it over a whole hell of a lot better than the...

    Starter reinstallation issues

    I had some issues with charging and starting, so being an overeager idiot, i took the battery, starter, and alternator to get tested all at once. Alternator was shot, and had worn out my brand new battery, so 2 for 3. Starter was fine, but upon reinstalling the starter as I could remember how...

    C3 Brake and PS Questions

    The fronts were spotless for the most part. I've heard from other sources that the rear calipers were just prone to this sort of rusting. I was extremely suspicious of the lines for a while but i've been up and down them with and they are spotless. i'm on a bit of a tight budget atm so the...

    C3 Brake and PS Questions

    I've been fixing my dads 75 Vette for a while now. It starts and runs with a battery in it, but the big problems are the brakes and the power steering (or lack thereof). I've narrowed down the brakes to the rear calipers needing replaced. I came to this conclusion after attempting to bleed the...
