I have a 1993 4 dr Accord Ex I have been working on.

Recently the brakes felt a little soft so I checked the brake fluid and it was low and old.

I started to bleed the brakes yesterday and I was unable to get air to stop coming out when bleeding, looks almost like beer or champagne.

My questions is, does this link from the FAQs show the correct order ?

Maintenance: Brake bleeding/flushing

I did not use the order listed listed in the above thread and the first thing I will do is rebleed using that order if it is correct.

I have only had civics and tegs and the bleed order is different that is why i am asking.

I went through about 2 large bottles of brake fluid and no change.

One of the bleeders was clogged if that is any indication of the state of the braking system on this car.

Is it possible that the MC is bad?

also what is the preferred method you guys are using to bleed brakes.

I tried gravity bleed, had a friend pump the brakes, and tried one of those things from harbor freight that you hook up to a compressor and it sucks the fluid from the bleeder valve.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also separate issue, does any one have a link or the process for bleeding the ABS is the same as a 95 integra?

Thanks in Advance !

Are both reservoirs full (master cylinder and ABS pack)? Any idea why the brake fluid was low to begin with? Maybe there's a leak?

Also be careful about the bleeder itself. Remove the bleeder bolt entirely and coat the threads with a heavy grease, and reinstall it. This will keep air from seeping by the threads while you try and bleed.

yeah both full, will try the grease on the bleeders, no idea why it was low not my car, I will check under the dash to see if its leaking there, I didn't see anything on the brakes.


How about the bleed order?
