NOTICE: While Corvsport.com has made every effort to ensure that the instruction provided on this site is both complete and accurate, it is presented here for REFERENCE ONLY.  All vehicle maintenance and repairs should only be performed by a qualified technician or mechanic and should not be attempted without the proper tools and/or experience.  Improperly performed vehicle repair can result in damage, injury, and even death.   User discretion is advised.
CAUTION: When servicing wheel brake parts, do not create dust by grinding or sanding brake linings or by cleaning wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air.  (A water dampened cloth should be used.)  Many wheel brake parts contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne if dust is created during servicing.  Breathing dust containing asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm.
  • Use only D.O.T. 3 or Delco Supreme No. 11 fluid in this brake system.  Do not use silicone brake fluid such as Delcome Supreme No. 24.  Any type of silicone brake fluid may cause seal damage.
The following diagnosis chart provides probable causes for most mechanical issues involving the braking system.
