when i apply pressure on my brake pedal, the first2 inches are soft but then it gets harder after that. is that normal? there are no air in my lines and i bled them starting from the further line away from the master cylinder.

thanks

 

Any bubble in the MC?

 

how do i check if there are any bubbles in the mc? can i just check the reservoir?

 

did you bleed the brakes starting furthest from the master cylinder to the closest?

so bleed the right rear, then left rear, then right front, then left front and all the time make sure the cap is off the master cylinder and full of fluid?

 

yeah i stated that in my first post about bleeding them from the furthest one away.

on your guys' brakes, when you step on it, is it firm the instant you press on it or it starts from soft to firm and it gets firmer and firmer?

 

I actually believe for the Accord this is NOT the correct method for bleeding it. There was a debate awhile back, I'll see if I can find the thread.

As to my brakes my car is crappy and needs a new BMC

 

yeah id like to see that, i thought that was a good rule of thumb for any car. but yeah i could be wrong.

 

i am wrong, here is the correct sequence...Brake bleeding sequence: 1) Driver side front, 2) passenger side front, 3) passenger side rear, 4) driver side rear.

i thought you started with the nearest to the mc if your car has ABS?

 

How much brake fluid do we need for the 5th generation accords?

 

one of those 32oz prestone dot 3 brake fluid from walmart is fine. its like $5 per bottle.

 

I was actually thinking of changing to Dot 4, the Amsoil 600, they come in little quarts so i'll just buy 2-3 of them and call it a day. I probably will only need one quart but i'll keep the other 2 in the garage for future bleedings.

 

it might not be ok to mix those fluids
