bad brakes

<< < (2/3) > >>

Were they spongy before replacing pads? Have  you tried clamping off all the flexible hoses to see if pedal improves, release individually to  locate  a  bad caliper,have you tried bleeding brakes & taping caliper with a rubber mallet to dislodge air in caliper galleries. Perhaps a bent pad pushing back pistons. Do the new pads sit up to disc. IE have discs got a lip on outer & inner edges of braking surface holding pads off

good feedback guys,yes it has a booster and yes I will get back under the car this weekend and try to solve this problem cheers

Ausrs:
found a vacuum bleeder to be one of the best tools available to bleed the brakes on a C3 corvette,it makes life so much easier and takes about 10 minutes all up
