Re: brake ?
just as importantly as the proper bleeding order, is do you have an integra proportioning valve? if not, that is causing your spongy pedal feel more than anything.

Re: brake ?
Helms manual states bleeding order as Back right, Front left, Back left, front right....because the brakes are linked diagonally.

Re: brake pedal loses pressure
Always start furthest away from the master cylinder, and the diaganol split should not matter but i could be wrong.. And the only problem with that tool is you can't see if you have got all the air out. Two people is always better then one.. And besides you only need a pop bottle, paperclip, and 18inchs of brakeline in place of that tool. Lol

The tool costs only $4, is very convenient, does not require a buddy, and prevents air return to the system. For each wheel, just pump the pedal until the bottle fills and you should be good to go.

Oh, I agree completly, I have one of those as well as a vacume bleeder. I was just being a smart ***. Lol. But I don't trust anything except the two man method on a cutomer car.. To each his own though.

Re: brake pedal loses pressure
that bleed tool is awesome. I flushed all 4 wheels and complete brake system in 30 minutes. Still had brake fluid left over so I flushed my clutch too
