Just a warning for all DIY goers. If you really don't know what you're doing or confident please leave it to the pros. Mucking around with the brakes is not a safe thing. One thing goes wrong, ur brakes will fail and you'll go flying into a wall some where.
you should be able to bleed any honda with 500ml brake fluid.
you onlu need to peeps to do the job.
like sp3rmz says dont do it if your not 100% sure what your doing.
problems wiht this post...
:thumbdwn: you can possibly blow your master cycliner seals!
:thumbdwn: and u alwasy tighten it after every fluid pump/step..ie.. squirt-tighten-squirt-tighten.. and not continuously pump. else your just sucking air via the vlave back into the systemmmmmmm
just my 2 cents
you need to use more/bigger/more descriptive words for your comments to be of any use...Quote:

Each time u release the pedal you are sucking air back in the valve if u dont tighten the valve.. on the up motion it drawing air into your system...
Correct me otherwise
yeah, i see what you mean.
close/tighten the bleed nipple on the caliper before the pedal gets pumped.
once the pedal is pumped, open/loosen the nipple and let the fluid out, then close/tighten the nipple before the pedal gets pumped.
i think that is the point i made earlier...
yes, this i pretty much correct.Quote:

um, BlitZ lost 1 point cause he used horrible syntax.
so it is actually nil all...
*if* we are clear on the situation, can someone edit the top post (point 5) to reflect the discussion?
fellas I dont want to start a brake bleeding war nor trying to be a smart ass know it all,
You dont have to agree with me, but I do know 200% that you can open the bleed nipple and pump the pedal up and down up and down with out closing the nipple. only works if you pump faster than normal, pumping it slowly will allow the fluid to flow back in possibly with air bubbles. but this is not the way to end your brake bleed, you MUST end with down then open then close, up, down then open then close, up a few times ( 3 or 4 ), you use this method to flush fluid through. also works with the clutch. I challenge anyone to prove that this procedure will not work. I also dont give a f@#k what honda tech say. Iv been doing it this way for over 10 years, havnt killed a master cylinder or got air in the system ( other than letting the fluid run low in the master cylinder ).
*as above*
I've done this by keeping the nipple open and the assistant just pumping the pedal up and down (the key like John said is to make sure the assistant pumps the pedal fast enough).
If you see the fluid going back up the clear pipe, just do up the nipple again. It isn't really that hard.
*sigh*
