I have a 98 accord with 189k 4-cly.

If I siphen up as much brake fluid in the reservior out, do I HAVE to bleed my brakes after I fill it back up with fresh brake fluid? At no time did I press the brake pedal until the resevior was completely full again.

 

Whats the point of that then?

I mean you still have the old fluids in the lines. Why not just flush it completely.

 

Nobody here to help me bleed my brakes. So, will air get into my system as described?

 

If you pumped the brake pedal when the reservoir was low, then the probability that air was sucked into the lines is pretty high, which would mean, continue pumping until any sign of air in the lines is no longer coming up.

 

Get yourself a vacuum bleeder kit. If you start at left rear, then right front, right rear, left front, you should be OK. Put the vacumm hose on the bleeder screw, loosen the screw, continue pumping the vacuum handle until you get clean fluid at each wheel. Stop occassionally to refill the master cylinder (DON"T let it get empty!).

 

there is also gravity bleeding since you're by yourself

 

This seems silly......

Your brake lines are still going to be filled with old fluid, as are your calipers. If you sucked out half the stuff in the reservoir then pumped the brakes while bleeding a specific caliper then capped it off and continued the process like 50 times I'm sure you could change out the fluid.

Or you could just go to a shop and pay them $50 to do it properly.
