DIY: Brake fluid flush

[rota]

How much brake fluid do you need to do a flush?
500ml?

[ECU-MAN]

yep 500ml

and yes drum set up is the same concept,
you need 8mm spanner for rear drum cylinder bleed nipples

I tried this with mate last time, got alotta air bubbles.

Tried to let it bleed again, but still got air bubbles.

Any way to get rid of it?

just to add - this can also be due to air entering via the thread of the bleed nipple,

remove the nipple and apply some plumbing tape (PTFE) to the thread to seal it

i will try this in summer . thanks tinkerbell and ecu man for great advice!

umm not meaning to go OT or anything, but
in regards to brake fluid. Wat types are there. Do you guys just use Honda? is there better types out there, maybe with higher boiling temp. or something ? sorry im noob about this.

[tinkerbell]

i race my car on the circuit often, i use Motul RBF600 fluid, $50 per litre,

it has a very high boiling point, but needs more frequent replacement compared to OEM...

Here is a a really good, concise how to for changing Brake Fluid, ABS and Clutch Fluid on a pre-face lift Integra.

As much as this thread was helpful, reading both (from a different author/context point of view) made it simple to understand.

whats is the order of bleeding on ABS equiped dc2r?

[Bludger]

bump

anyone?

I just bled our dc2r brakes last week. I always start from the wheel furthest away from the MC, so in this car and most RHD Hondas it's LR 1st, followed by RR, LF and RF. Used just over 500ml of fluid.

There are diff theories on the bleeding seq, I have always stuck to this seq on all types of cars and never had a problem for me.

[tinkerbell]

hmmmm, not sure if that is "correct" to say for DC2's

i follow the Honda Manual that states:

Front left, Front Right then Rear Right, Rear Left.

[tinkerbell]

BTW - this is also the same for DC5's
