All 3 of you guys are right. And he should listen to this info very closely. The copper washers need to be replaced. The caliper bolts also per GM. Up grade your brake fluid to Synthetic. You have to start the bleeding from the farthest point. Which is RR first LR next RF then LF in that order.

For V-8 Torque specs.
Brake Caliper Bleeder Valve 89 lb. in.
brake Caliper Bolt-Front [L99,LS3] 44lb.ft+90 degrees
Brake Caliper Bolt-Rear [L99,LS3] 30 lb. ft.+90
Brake Hose Fitting Bolt 30 lb. ft.

Hope this helps you.
