Well, I tried bleeding the brakes the other day on my 95. I had the pressure bleeder at 15psi on the reservoir, taking my time, did the rear, flushed all the old 10 year old crap out of the lines. Got both the rear calipers done, did the front left, the nipple was tight as hell but got her done, moved to the front right, and the nipple broke off in the caliper. AAAARRRGGHHHH!!! Went to Sears, bought an easy-out, drilled the hole a little bigger, soaked it with penetrating oil, and snapped the easy out! After trying to drill THAT out I give up. Looks like I'm just going to have to replace the front calipers. One thing I thought was strange was the order the book said to bleed them in, left rear, right rear, left front, right front. I'm going to replace both the front calipers while I'm at it, probably switch to stainless flex lines too all the way around just for the hell of it. Another weekend project. When any of my other cars break I get pissed, when this thing breaks I look at it like "oh boy, I get to work on the vette!" lol :)
