Brakes Problems
Hello Everyone,
I'm a Newb here, a friend told me about this site the other day to find help on this problem. I searched and found some info but not exactly what I was looking for.
This has only happened when i've been in traffic for while. When i go to stop i'll hit the brake pedal but it keeps going slowly all the way to the floor and the braking power isn't that great. It comes to a stop but very slowly. When I stopped i released the brake pedal, pumped it, then put pressure on it and it went all the way to the floor. It has happened on two occasions now, both times I have been in traffic. I read that it might be the MC. If so would it be easy for me to replace.
My car is a 95 Integra LS 4 door.
Thanx in advance.

Re: Brakes Problems (devrules81)
After. The idea is you're flushing out all the air bubbles that have gotten into the system. Not only that, it's good to have fresh brake fluid at least every couple years.
The bleeding order for '95 Integra is RR, LF, LR, RF. Then ABS if you have it.
Also, look up 'bench bleeding' the master cylinder. That's filling up the reservoir & pumping the MC before you install it. Otherwise it seems to take forever to get air bubbles out of the MC. Plan on using a couple quarts of fluid.

You MUST bench bleed it. it HAS to be done.
