this diy was done on a BB2 VTiR Prelude

and yes I used to have a GenIII CRX, I dont know the part number for it but I can ask my honda dealer if you like. pm me your VIN if you really want it.

cheers

Is it possible to see the cause of the problem, once you have it opened?
i.e. would it be a noticeable crack/split etc in a seal?

And so you don't have to replace all of your brake fluid to do this? Is it common in shops for them to just 'top up' your old fluid, and bleed the brakes?

^^ well mine started after my last service. probably let some air into the system so im going to bleed it this weekend with high boiling point DOT 4 fluid and see if it solves the problem. if not ill rebuild the sucker.

hmmm i was quoted 70 bux for a cylinder ...maybe ill just buy a 2nd hand one from the wrecker? just worried it might be leaked on the inside? cant really tell if i open it right?

why skimp on $7 woth of something that will save you life.

I wouldnt think twice about it, just use new brake fluid and bleed the braked when your done.

the seals on the pistons are noticably worn compared to the new ones.

ecu-man u talkin to me??

im not skimping on 7 dollars....

i woulda used oem honda fluid if i wanted to save money to bleed the brakes...

and im saving myself alot of trouble n time from my busy job week by buying cylinder instead of building it and installing it myself.

plus i was quoted 50 bux a piston for the rebuilt kit in melbourne...yet to find a cheaper deal. will try another dealer when i have the time.

its not the money but getting ripped off isnt my thing.

neways will let u all know wen my brake bleed is done tmrw

If you meant me, I definately wouldn't just 'top it up', I was just wondering if that might have been what was done to me at a shop I went to.

ahh cool.

they have to bleed the brakes after this, which means replace the brake fluid for a good result

Hey ECU-MAN, is it just me or do most of the photos in your DIYs not work? If it's not just me, would it be too much trouble to rehost and relink them? The visuals make these 100% easier to follow! Cheers
