well here is the deal! i hope someone can help me!


its a 1990 crx si comes with rear disc! has a 7/8 mc and a 20/40 valve!

i upgraded the valve to a 40/40 off integra, also i got a mc from a late 80's honda accord! 15/16.

question! the honda accord mc lined up an bolted in.. i know ur supose to use the 90-91 ex mc or the prelude si mc!

neways my problem is*

got it all together and no leaks! i filled up the mc with brake fluid and i go to bleed the lines and i start with the rear pass side fartherest away from the mc... i crack open the line and no air or fluid... Hmmmm and of course i have someone pumping the brakes etc i know how to bleed lol neways i get lil stream of fluid. i go to the next one and the freaking caliper bleeder snaped off.. WTF neways i messed around and went to the rest and did them!

ok soo my pedal gets stiff with the car off and when i put it on it goes to the floor! ?? i take hose of bb and i get noise of air!! so the check valve is good?

also the mc when i pump the b rakes dont let the fluid go down? it doesnt seem to take the fluid? bad master cylinder? or wrong one bc i used the honda accord?

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME????

 

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder?
That removes all the air in the master cylinder and prevents it from entering your brake system.

 

bench bleed? meaning??? anyone have a picture or a write up about bench bleeding?

 

NVM! i figured out what bend bleeding is lol...


neways anyone know if the 88 or so honda accord mc works with the ef's??? bc may be thats my problem!

it bolted on and everything and lined up really good!

anyone know?

 

The Accord Lx-I master cylinder does in fact work, I have been using one for almost four years now.

 

Sounds like symptoms of a bad mc. Because the seal is gone around the plunger therefor not pumping fluid to the calipers.

 

do you have brakes if you unhook the vaccum line from the brake booster? on my old crx i blew the brake booster out which caused the pedal to go to the floor, i unhooked the vaccum line so i was still able to stop until i got home.

 

ok thanks for the heads up on the accord lx i mc... figured it work if it bolted up right HAHA

neways the seal in the innner part near the plunger.. i bought it brand new from honda!

so i doubt thats the problem!

 

still not working... what could be wrong?? would a bad 40/40 make my brakes not work? like mushy pedal.. and when i go to bleed the brakes the fluid when i pump the brakes dont suck down the mc? is sucked down and let go it comes back up like its not pushing it thought? what would be the problem?]

PLEASE SOME ONE HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!!

 

car is FIXED!!!!!


driver rear caliper was seized and HAD MASSIVE AMOUNT OF AIR BUBBLES

got them out and everything worked out!!!


thanks everyone for thier help!
