Hi ,new to the corvette world.Just purchased a 1980. Needs work , but i have some spaire time and am looking forward to working on it. It had been sitting for 4 yrs. My first project was the brakes, I put new pads rotors a calipers in over the weekend all went well. But i cant get all the air out of the lines,my brother who ouns a 92 is knowlegable on cars, we couldnt get all the air out of the front lines,kept bleeding the for 2 hrs but still had massive air bubbles.Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks john ,from leicester mass.

Welcome aboard, how are you bleeding your lines. Can't imagine still having air bubbles after 2 hrs of bleeding :confused:

You could purchase one of the auto bleeders that work very well in my experience. Unless there is a leak somewhere in the lines I can't see the bleeding taking that long. Good luck with that and keep us posted!

Welcome... Auto bleeders work well... If that dont get it out... you must have a leak somewhere... :cheers:
