Sorry guys I'm trying to cram a ton of work on zo6 and have be productive with limited time I have.
Just checked brake fluid and its black in color. I understand the problems with brake fluid as to humidity and moisture. My question is do I start at the back passenger side than drivers front and cris cross. Dad has a power bleeder, used it only once. I'm thinking about the old method of pumping up brakes press firmly on pedal and bleed. However will that be enough to clean out system.
Its 12 midnight listening to country music, drinking an A&W rootbeer and loving this Vette. No work tomorrow. All day with my dog and Vette. God life is great.
BTW Sea Foam took off my nail polish. Life is Good. At this point dad would say I talk too much. But this is so neat!

If the fluid is that bad, you need a tech 2 to cycle to the ABS pump to disperse any murky fluid in the pump.

But the bleed procedure:

RR
LF
LR
RF

On the dual sided caliper, do the inboard bleeder first, then the outboard.

And if you don't have that $3,000 tool, go lock up the ABS a few times and that will help pump a little of the junk out, then rebleed. Brake fluid is cheap.
