Replacing The Rear Brake Calipers On A C3 Corvette!

[@kiesha104]

Had to drop the entire rear end on my 77, getting ready to powder coat the calipers.. Mine has a bu ch more rust... lol

[@NoBrakesGarage]

[@kiesha104]

@NoBrakesGarage no rest for the wicked... Ya wanna play, ya gotta pay...lol Happy New year to you and yours... See ya next year. Keep plugging away

Oh 1 more thing. Don’t know if your caliper supports dot 5 brake fluid that contains silicone. If it doesn’t it will swell the rubber seals ask me how I know

[@NoBrakesGarage]

Yes. Lol. I use Dot3. I don’t need that extra heat resistance.

[@timdawson7047]

At one point you had three hands.

Hi. I have a 79 vette. I’m just learning the car. I do not have that bar attached to my rear left caliper that you showed (the first thing you ratcheted off at 0:14). What is that things name and what does it do? Lol my left rear caliper is leaking too at the seal (hoses are ok so I’m in the same boat as u. Gonna swap out both rear calipers)

[@NoBrakesGarage]

I’m not sure what it’s called. I think it’s a sway bar or something. Don’t quote me because I don’t know what it is for sure.

Hey Guys: It's the rear sway bar. It was an option based on suspension choice.@@NoBrakesGarage

Why putting the pads before installing thr caluper?

[@NoBrakesGarage]

That’s the way I always do it. I don’t know of a way to do it with the caliper on.

[@restorerebuildrelive3873]

I know your pain I have a 75 and I have a 77 brand new calipers on both and each one of them on the back leak

[@NoBrakesGarage]

Lol, yes. It’s a endless battle. I’ve had to replace them several times, I’ve only driven the thing once. Lol.

[@NoBrakesGarage]

That’s cool that you got two C3s!

[@timdawson7047]

The proper term is drained all over you.

[@NoBrakesGarage]

Your right. My apologies. ❤️
