[QUOTE="Ralph Pipkin, post: 642393, member: 64379"] I have owned and restored Vettes for many years. If you have no leaks and the pedal gets spongy I'm afraid you could have a costly problem. From 1965 to 1982 Vette owners begin to experience spongy brakes after the rear wheel bearings started to wear. As the rotors rock back and forth taping on the pistons in the calipers it would pump air into the system. The parts are relatively cheap but the labor is high for this work and requires expensive tools to facilitate repairs. This is one of the type of repairs that tend to precipitate additional work. Typical cost are around 2K. Hate to be the bearer of bad news and this may not be your problem but it bears checking before spending money and efforts elsewhere. Good luck!:cool: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [/QUOTE]
