67 right rear caliper replacement

[Joe L.]

SUCCESS! I have a great pedal now after bleeding the front brakes. Not sure why the front brakes were part of the issue since I did not work on them and my car is a 67 with a dual MC, but whatever it is working now.

The reason I replaced the right rear caliper was due to it leaking. About five years ago I replaced the seals on this same caliper with good success, but wanted a fully rebuilt caliper this go round.

Thanks for those who gave me ideas an replied to my post.

I absolutely do not understand why your brake bleeding problem was solved when you bled the front brakes if the only thing you did was to replace one rear caliper. The 1967-82 Corvette brake systems were dual circuit with the front and rear brake systems completely separate.

Joe, I agree, and am aware of the type of MC. That is why I was so stumped until I bled the front brakes. Frankly, I did not think anything was going to change. Mark Edmundson suggested bleeding the front brakes in an earlier post so had nothing to lose. Not sure if the Pressure Bleeder had anything to do with it or not?

Did you pressure bleed just the rear system and check the brake pedal before you pressure bled the front system?
