So I would search for this if the search server wasn't unavailable at the time of posting..

I wanted to go ahead and throw in the Si M/C into my civic just because I have it. I read something about how you have to "bench bleed" it. Any specifics on doing that? I know how to bleed the whole brake system.. so I assume this is something different.

 

the way to bench bleed is to run 2 rubber hoses from the ports back into the reservoir submerge them and pump the piston till bubbles stop coming out. if you dont have a bench bleed kit, just put your fingers over the ports, and pump the piston, keeping them covered on the rebound, untill you stop getting air out of the ports.

 

sweet dude, thanks. That helps.

 

car also be done ON CAR that way you don't make a mess moving the MC from the bench to the car.

 

just make sure you put some fluid in it before you bolt it down cause if that pedall drops without any fluid in it you can blow the seals out.
