Hello guys,
I have been away for a little while down in Orlando and I will say it was beautiful. Anyway, I got home and have some time to work on the Corvette some. I replaced the remaining two calipers that were old (and faulty) and also at the same time replaced the master cylinder. Here is what happened. I bled the back two calipers with no problem. Went to the front to start bleeding them and the brake pedal went to the floor and would not pump up at all. I have a problem here. So I start checking it out and I have air coming out between the power booster and the master cylinder connection. This isn't supposed to happen right? There was no gasket on the old one or anything. My suspect at this point is the little rubber gasket that is pressed into the power booster. I do not believe it is sealing the hole up well enough. But would this happen? Work just fine for the rear calipers and then suddenly go out all together for the fronts? The two calipers I replaced were the left rear (drivers side) and right front (passenger). I am going to do more investigating tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone here could give any advice. Thank you.
