Default NO BRAKES!!

I changed the back wheel cylinders and brakes. Then tried to bleed the brakes and I have no brakes. I am sure I did it right because I have bled the slave cylinder and front brakes before. What should I do. Nothing is leaking

If you thought you bled your brakes all the way...........you're wrong.

Go bleed them, then after that bleed them some more.

Then when you are done doing all that......bleed them again.

What I'm trying to say is.....bleed your brakes more.

Oh right, and when I read the thread title, first thing that came to mind was, "I bet he just did a rear brake swap." !!!

You should have pumped them (while you were bleeding them). You should've had someone watch all the fluid run out. I don't think you did that, try it again.

I had a problem when installing my pads, I had re-bled everything and my brakes still didn't work. I took off and re-installed the pads, and everything is fine. Try that.

Hey, how did you 101%? I thought it was impossible to have more than 100% or is it just a Moderator thing? Speaking of that, how do you become a Moderator (I have been wondering that for a while).

Before I was a moderator I was docked 2% for a rule infraction, and when I earned it back they gave me 101% instead of 100%, don't know why.

I assume that you don't have ABS...Good. Those are a pain in the butt. Now, as far as I know your prop valve separates your brakes FR/RL, FL/RR. Try bleeding your front as well. I'm not positive on Honda's, but some older cars have it like that.

So in order to be a Moderator you just have to stay around long enough and not get kicked off Honda-Tech?

Makes sense, I have hundreds of mind numbing posts, I haven't made it to thought provoking.
