HELP FOR BRAKES

Have you decided why you can not bleed fluid from the other two locations yet? The common reasons are clogged bleeder, and a defective brake hose.

Start with the easy choice. Remove the bleeder valve all the way out. Does fluid come out now? If so examine the bleeder valve. It should have a hole drilled in the center of the threaded outer section. This hole should intersect another hole that is drilled at a 90* angle to the first, but on the inner section, below the threads, but above the smooth seat area. If either one has become clogged, you will need to clear the holes out, or buy new bleeder valves.

The other common problem is a rubber hose that develops a peeling condition on the inside of the hose. This causes the pressure from your foot on the master cylinder to deform the loose flap inside the hose, stopping the flow of brake fluid.

If you suspect the hose is defective, loosen the steel tubing directly in front of the hose, and see if you can get fluid out of that connection.

If these two tests do not solve your problem, start at the master cylinder, and work your way, one section at a time, till you have flushed it all. Good luck.

Most Hondas have a daul diagonial brake system which means that the right front is paired to the left rear and the left front is paired with the right rear. Since you can only get fluid bled from one circuit then its highly possible that the proportionial valve are the master cyl. one is not passing fluid to the system. To properly bleed the system you must first bleed the master cylinder then go to the right rear bleed it then the left front bleed it left rear bleed it and then right front. Your car has antilock brakes and is more diffucult to bleed with a mighty-vac and you really need to use the 2 person method with one opening and closing the bleeders and the other pumping the brakes. To keep from having to add fluid constantly you can take a bottle of fluid and invert it on the master cylinder and it will keep the resevoir full. Just be patient and you can get them bled. Hope this helps.
