Hello! I just had a rear disc swap done on my 1990 civic hatch. Few questions, what is the proper method for bleeding the brakes, rear then front, or criss cross etc. I am using the DX prop valve still, what kind of issues may I run into? Locking up, is it safe? The peddle is pretty soft now, not sure if that is more from bad bleeding or the prop valve. I am going to rebleed again to make sure though. Thanks for the help!

 

RR->RL->FR->FL. You go the order that is furtherest away to the closest of your MC.

 

Thanks, just wondering, I have seen doing a criss cross method also, is that specific for cars with ABS?

 

Doesn't matter really

I told you, no need for brakes as slow as you drive.

 

Nope. It's for all cars.
The car has 2 circuits - RP + FD and RD + FP.
It's a safety issue in case one circuit dies (line breaks, caliper dies, etc) then the other circuit operates on opposite ends of the vehicle and and doesn't send the car into a spin.

the idea is to bleed one circuit at a time starting with the circuit that has the longest distance to push fluid - the right passenger rear.
As opposed to doing both rears and then both fronts, the criss-cross method helps from pushing old fluid into the freshly flushed line of the first circuit.

 

But my sneakers are wearing out

Thanks for the help all
