Let me start by saying this is my first Civic with 5-lug, so bear with me a bit if it's any different from 4-lug.

My car needed new front pads, so I went and got some, and while putting them on, I ran into an issue. While trying to compress the piston back into the caliper, it wouldn't budge. No big deal right? I simply loosened the bleeder screw and the piston moved in easily. The same thing happened on the other side, did it over there too, and I knew that I had to bleed the brakes.

Enlisting the help of my dad, we bled the two front brakes. The brake pedal builds pressure fine while the car is off, but when I start it, the pedal falls nearly to the floor. So we try bleeding all of the brakes. Same thing. Try a one-man bleeder. Same thing. I am beginning to think something is wrong. But what? Is the master cylinder bad? Is it the brake booster? If so, do I buy the parts for an ITR or for a Civic?

Thanks a lot guys. </TD></TR></TABLE>

do you see any leakage? i had the same thing. when i started the car, the pedal dropped. i kept refilling and i found out a big puddle next to my passenger front wheel. i was missing a washer on a brake line to my spoon caliper. lol

 

wowza.....

No I can't find any leaks. I talked to a brake specialist and he said he thought it was the MC. I'm going to try a new one today, hopefully that will work.

Did you run the master completely dry? I know you don't wanna hear this but it kinda sounds like you still have some trapped air... It's also possible you have over stroked the master cylinder (please no jokes kids) and it could need replacing... It's also kind of odd the you would need to open the bleeders to press in the pistons.. I have never had to do that </TD></TR></TABLE>

Yeah that sort of left me scratching my head, I didn't know if for some weird reason 5-lug would be different but I checked the manual and found that it isn't. Maybe the MC is bad and isn't allowing fluid to return back into the reservoir so it has nowhere to go, therefore not allowing the piston to slide back in until I open the bleeder? I don't know. I hope it's something simple.

 

did you have the cap off the MC when you pushed the piston back in? that could have done it in imo

98 ITR Brake Booster & Master Cylinder w/ Si prop valve!
should do the trick!

The cap off the reservoir? Yes, it's supposed to be off when you're pushing the piston back in isn't it?
