Braek questions on accord , Reverse bleeding.

[Voltmaster]

Hi all,

I am doing a break bleeding on my accord , after my last caliper job the pedal isnt what it used to be.I've tried bleeding multiple times, mixed results... New calipers are fine. Going to try the patented tool before condeming the Master Cyl. , it was replaced 20k ago.

I am borrowing a pheonix system Max Pro tool,

Reading through the manual has given me a few questions.

1) does the 6th gen accord ( 2000 V4 ABS SE trim ) has an accumulator ?
if yes whats the procedure to bleed it , since i am doing reverse bleeding.

2)whats the best possible order for bleeding?

3) Is "burping" the system necessary? It seems not intuitive to let any fluid come out after bleeding, doesn't this cause some air to enter the system? Fluid out, air in .... right?


Any other information greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

If the old calipers were sticking and the pistons weren't retracting properly then your pedal travel will be longer with the new calipers

Correct bleed order is from closest to master cyl to furthest.

According to the service manual it has 2 accumulators but it doesn't indicate any special procedure to bleed them; the bleeding secuence is front driver, front passenger, rear passenger, rear driver.

Modern day cars are different due to the ABS system and EBD systems being the new common point of the braking system. Could be nearly anything so it's now one of those car-specific things.

It has an I4 engine. Honda also has some cheap caliper re-buidl kits available so they don't start/continue sticking.

Righto, thanks.
