1995 Chevrolet Corvette Brake Service (ONLINE REPAIR MANUALS)

Brake Pedal

Toyota/GM Single Diaphragm Type

• With engine running and brake pedal in rest position, measure distance between face of pedal and floor mat.
• If distance is not 5.79-6.18 inches, adjust pedal height as follows:
• Remove left lower instrument panel trim section and air duct.
• Loosen stop lamp switch sufficiently to gain clearance for pedal adjustment.
• Loosen locknut and rotate pedal pushrod as needed to obtain specified pedal height, then tighten locknut.
• Adjust position of brake light switch so that plunger lightly contacts pedal stopper and brake lamps are off when pedal is release...

• After disassembling a power brake unit, soak all metal parts in solvent.
• Use only alcohol on parts containing rubber. After the parts have been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed in solvent, they should be rewashed in clean alcohol before assembling.
• Use compressed air...

Caliper Removal

• Remove ^2/3 of total brake fluid capacity from master cylinder reservoir.
• Raise and support vehicle, then remove tire and wheel assembly.
• Install two wheel retaining nuts to retain rotor in position.
• If caliper requires overhaul, remove inlet fitting attaching bolt, then disconnect inlet fitting from caliper housing. Discard both gaskets, then plug openings in inlet fitting and caliper to prevent loss or contamination of fluid. Do not crimp brake hose, as this may damage internal structure of hose.

When a diagnostic test refers to removing, replacing or checking a component for proper mounting, refer to "Component Replacement."

• After replacement of any ABS component, the entire system should be tested.
• Ensure inlet and outlet brake lines are properly routed.
• Do not use a fast charger for starting engine.
• Never disconnect battery from vehicle when engine is running.
• Do not connect or disconnect control module electric...

Brake Roughness

The most common cause of brake chatter on disc brakes is a variation in thickness of the disc. If roughness or vibration is encountered during highway operation or if pedal pulsation is experienced at low speeds, the disc may have excessive thickness variation. To check for this condition, measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius approximately one inch from edge of disc. If thic...
