brake fluid replacement
So i replaced the brake fluid completely and bled the brakes but for some reason the break pedal goes all the way down, is that how its supposed to be or did i not do it right?

Re: brake fluid replacement
I used the one-man-process bottle from autozone, hooked up the hose to the bleeder valve n pumped the brake pedal about 7 times while having the brake reservoir open n refilled the reservoir up to the max line after each wheel.
Well to be honest, the master cylinder (close to the firewall/booster) has an oil mark around it, but it was like that even before i touched it, so I'm not sure if it needs replacing
EDIT: Rear passenger, front driver, rear driver, and finally front passenger was the process

Try to keep bleeding sometimes it takes a long time you can try to pick up a new master cylinder from honda if it doesnt work after bleeding it again

Re: brake fluid replacement
Sometimes air can get trapped in the brake pistons and will be a complete bitch to bleed out. Take a clamp and push the piston all the way in then bleed the line. Do it for each one and it should work.
