Re: Hello All!! Just signed on. (Harv69)
Welcome Harv69,
I had done the breaks several times over the years, even replacing leaky SS cal.. But the MOST noticable change was when I went to SS hoses. It went from a sponge to a brick.

Welcome!
Check for more leaks in the other calipers. If none exist, drive it to a shop and have them bleed the system while simultaneously replacing the fluid.

Dear Harv69,
Welcome to the Forum, but why are you Harv69 and not Harv81, or is that too much information for me? Don't worry, here in Australia, we do EVERYTHING upside down!!! :reddevil :cheers:

Re: Hello All!! Just signed on. (Harv69)
Thanks everyone for the responses! I think I will have to replace all the calipers with the stainless sleeved ones, since I know its the stock ones in there. But since I just forked over the money to buy the car that will have to wait until later on this summer. In the mean time I will replace the seals in the other front caliper and do a more thourough job of bleeding.
I want to post pictures but every time I go to the homepage information I get the PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED sign.
Anyway it is two tone Ivory on the top and brown on the botton with doeskin interior.
Aussie....Wanted my screename to be just Harv but they said that name was already taken. So 69 was the first thing to pop into my head....go figure!
How are things down under?

You are obviously suppressing deep feelings for a chrome bumpered vette.
You may have viewed 1bad69's signature too many times. This leads to
severe chrome envy. Even his black paint shines like chrome. Come to
terms with this, as your 81 knows about it.
Good idea, replacing all the calipers (eventually). Go with the Oring type,
as these tend to suck less air (if any). I plan to go "O" soon.
Good luck - welcome - and congrats on your new girlfriend.
You did tell the wife, right ? :party:
