    furthest from the BMC and work your way back. So that means rear left , rear right , front left and then front right.

    Get the Honda workshop manual. It tells you everything you need to know. I have the 1990 Integra version (very similar to ED/EF) which gives an order* which contradicts the above advice of "furthest from the BMC and work your way back". I think it would be smart to trust the people who designed the system.

    *For RHD: Back right, front left, back left, front right.
    I have signatures turned off

    ^ Thats right

    Follow this 3 - 4 - 1 - 2

    (This diagram is from a US service manual (LHD) that's why I reversed the order)

    I just use the apparent industry standard - but listen to the people who designed the system.

    EDIT here is one for a car with drum brakes ( ED ) (LHD - just swap as above

    Furthest from the BMC is the standard as said. You shouldn't have any issue on a non-ABS system using that method. But as said, use the workshop manual.

    For ABS equiped cars, you have to worry about the solenoid valves sucking air back in and how the manual says to overcome this issue.

    really? i just used the same method as said above, still does the trick i guess, and also, if u got no fluid, the abs light will always be active, so keep that brake fluid topped up

    All your cars should be split systems, they haven't used single systems for a longgggggg time. Around the 70's they went out of fashion for good reason. And what i said about the ABS equiped vehicles, take it with a grain of salt. Although i said that, i have never heard or seen of any problems occuring due to that. But it is a precaution your supposed to take...
