"Pedal" not "Peddle." Good write up. I like your site design.

Thanks, just trying to create a nice site everyone can use that won't be down or outdated in a few years..

Still gotta add the spell check, bleeder nut oem part#, and a round up of brake fluids, time time time...

If anyone ever wants to help, i have a longgg list of things to publish/build/write

thats not the right bleed sequence, just friendly advice

i know the honda way is kinda reverse, but i did it this way when recommend off anther guide and found this method worked just as well, if not better (firmer pedal)

Boots

fair enough

like the format... remember to proofread though, a ton of grammatical and spelling mistakes.

Also,

Take note that some S2000s will retain air trapped in the ABS module even after a proper bleed sequence.

To combat this I took my car to a large wet parking lot and let the ABS activate a few times, head home and re bleed, continue until pedal is as firm as you'd like.

Never thought about the abs unit trapping air, it does actually make sense that it would.. hmm..

I'll add this, fix a few spelling errors and re-post the images,

I wonder if there is an easier way, for people in dry zones that don't want to slam on the brakes going down a road hehe.

Thanks everyone for the input!!

Doesn't seem to happen to everyone, but I guess I should have also noted, I installed SOS stainless lines at the time. Not like it should matter, but noted none the less.

I usually just turn the car on and pump the pedal a bunch of times to get the old fluid out. I do it pretty much the way you have it. I use an old brake fluid container and fill it up part way with just some junk *** brake fluid. Then I use the vacuum hose in the fluid method. That way I can bleed my own brakes before a track event if nobody's around to help. My only regret for embracing that method is the loneliness I feel while brake bleeding

I turn on the car, pump the pedal a buncha times, and add fluid into the master cyl as needed. Turning on the car helps since you move more fluid and it's easier to push the pedal. Plus, once you're done bleeding the brakes, you can close the screw and have an actual idea of what the brakes feel like with the car turned on.
