How do you bleed the brakes on a 1979 Corvette?

1. Park the car on a level surface and turn off the engine.

2. Locate the brake fluid reservoir. It is usually located in the engine compartment, near the master cylinder.

3. Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir.

4. Attach a brake bleeder wrench to the bleeder screw on the first brake caliper. The bleeder screw is usually located at the top of the caliper.

5. Place a clear hose over the bleeder screw and run the other end of the hose into a container of brake fluid.

6. Have a helper pump the brake pedal several times, then hold it down while you open the bleeder screw.

7. Close the bleeder screw when you see air bubbles coming out of the hose.

8. Repeat steps 5-7 for each of the remaining brake calipers.

9. Top off the brake fluid reservoir with new brake fluid.

10. Test the brakes by pumping the brake pedal several times. The pedal should feel firm and there should be no spongy feeling.
