Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2006Neeed help with brakes on '88 Accord
'88 Honda Accord LX 5 spd. 215K mi. My brakes started failing today after driving through town and traffic for about 30-45 min. I had to pull the E-brake a couple of times so I could stop. It was very hot today, so I'm wondering if that could have been the cause. After I got back on the highway the brakes seemed to work normally. My brake light never came on, the pedal was going all the way to the floor. I had to pump it several times to get pressureback up.Somtimes this didn't work and I had to use the E- brake. I have checked the fluid ,the level is good. I replaced the front discs about 3 or 4 months ago, I've never had any problems with the brakes before this.

A helpful tip if not. You can just bleed the MC itself after it's installed. Just have someone pump the brake pedal a few times and hold.....while you bleed the air from the 2 lines going directly into the MC. Do them one at a time and be sure to rinse off the excess brake fluid under the hood with a water hose. Brake fluid will eat paint among other things. > > > '88 Honda Accord LX 5 spd. 215K mi. > > > My brakes started failing today after driving through town and traffic for [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > one at a time and be sure to rinse off the excess brake fluid under the > hood with a water hose. Brake fluid will eat paint among other things. Most master cylinders come with a bleeder kit consisting of lines that pass fluid directly fed by the M/C back into its resevoir which is a substitute for "bench bleeding." I do it this way most of the time when replacing a M/C.

Much easier to get it out at the M/C than to bleed all 4 calipers. > > > > > '88 Honda Accord LX 5 spd. 215K mi. > > > > > My brakes started failing today after driving through town and traffic for [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > got into the system when the 2 brake lines were removed.

Seriously, do you really think I meant remove the brake lines from the car to install a M/C? > > > > > > > '88 Honda Accord LX 5 spd. 215K mi. > > > > > > > My brakes started failing today after driving through town and traffic for [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > Removed/disconnected from the M/C.
