Brake line curcuit problem
94 EX original master cylinder
I've been having problems with the brake system ever since I've owned the car. the Front left Brake pad wears out WAY faster then the rest. (usually last about 1 month or two) I've replaced the caliper twice and still have the same problem (slider pins are gressed) . Another thing I found out was that the rear right caliper isn't getting any fluid at all. The original caliper seized so I replaced it and couldn't bleed it. I recently learned that the RR and FL is one circuit and FR and RL is another. So my guess is that all the fluid is going to the FL and not allowing it to fully release.
Just wondering what you all think could be the problem and what I should check. I'm trying to avoid a lift if possible. Thanks

Re: Brake line curcuit problem
seems like your not getting pressure to all your calipers. you may have a "plumbing" issue, such as clogged lines... you may want to take it to a shop or dealer and have them "pressure bleed" it. honda has a special tool thats a pressurized tank that hooks up to the brake master cylinder.

I have seen where inner damage (age) causes a split in the inner lining which forms (in effect) a one-way check valve; not allowing the caliper to release.
Conversely, it can also work out as to restrict pressure in the other direction as well.

Re: Brake line curcuit problem
When I tried bleeding the caliper when I replaced (2 man way),I wasn't getting any fluid at the caliper. I even tried pumping the brake with the line off the caliper all together and still nothing. and I can't find my stupid mighty vac anywhere so I haven't tried vaccum bleeding yet.
