Ok well im having issues bleeding my rear brakes...I opened the bleeder and i pump the brakes...its still pump out air and I pumped it like hundred times..Any ideas . its not taking any of the fluid............\

 

you need 2 people to bleed brakes. unless you have one of those force bleeder things? one person pumps the brakes a bunch of times then holds pressure on the pedal as you open the bleeder, then you close the bleeder and your buddy pumps the pedal and holds it, open the bleeder, continue till you dont get any more air coming out. also make sure that the resovoir is full and check it often, if you run it dry, then you will have a hell of a time getting all the air out.

 

yes
make SURE you close the bleeder between pumps of not youll suck air right back in.
it goes like this

open bleeder
push brake down
close bleeder
release brake
repeat.

 

thanks guys

 

Speed Bleeders

How did we survive without them?

 

Speed bleeders are great, but if your car sees any sort of frequent heavy duty driving (such as a track day), the ball and spring on the inside of the screw will seize over time, rendering them useless.

On the flip side, they are such a cheap item, who cares? Just replace.

 

actually what you should do is have someone pump the pedal about 3 times to build up pressure, and hold it down.... then open the bleeder screw to let out air/fluid (pedal will go down farther), then close bleeder. repeat process of pumping, opening bleeder, closing it, then releasing brake pedal. That's just your basic brake bleeding process.

 

Sorry about bringing this back from the dead, but my question is can this bleeding method be just done on the front brakes. Or is it required/simple enough to bleed all four? Also my car is a 94 EX (ABS)..

EDIT: 4dr model if that matters!

TIA

No.. the way the system works there is 2 lines one line connects one rear to one front.

 

they should be bled in the correct order for your car. Do some searching and you should find it. For my 99 Civic it was Right-Rear, Left-Front, Left-Rear, then Right-Front. Make sure that there's always plenty of fluid in the MC res. too!!

 

I've never needed 2 people to bleed brakes for some reason. I always just crack open the bleeder screw and leave a little trick out, pump the brakes, do it over. I usually open the bleeder valve about 2 times per wheel and it's worked perfect for the 3 or 4 times I've done my own brake jobs.

Damn I'm suprised you haven't killed yourself yet. yeah have someone pump and hold the brake pedal down, the unscrew let the **** out and screw it back on realease the break pedal. Check amount of brake fluid in there inbetween series of bleeds. Also I think you got to start with the wheel farthest away from Master cylinder and then move up. I'm tired so I could be wrong.

pump pedal (3 to 4 times) then hold down
open bleeder (5 to 7 seconds)
close bleeder
release pedal
(repeat this process 1 to 2 times for each wheel)
This information is what is taught at an official Honda training school center
good luck </TD></TR></TABLE>

Thanks! Also would you guys know the order in which I should go first?
