Car Forum / Honda Cars / April 2007break issues
hi, i just bought a 90 accord LX as is ($345), but the breaks are awful. i bought fresh pads and calipers, installed them but the breaks are still not operable. i took the tires off and it turns out the pads aren’t even hitting the rotor when the break pedal is pressed. my father suspected something with the pistons, but we exchanged the old parts for new ones so that wouldn’t make sense. whats wrong? we tried bleeding them in the order the hayes repair manual stated, but nothing.

And your brakes are broken, evidently. Is your pedal spongy or firm? Does it stop going down well up from the floor? In this case you need to have a competent mechanic look at your brakes. If you've replaced the calipers and the pistons are still not forcing the pads against the rotor, then you've either got air still trapped in there, slide pins seized, pads seized on their mounts, or defective calipers. Exactly how did you bleed the new calipers? The best way is to bleed them OFF the mount bracket, with a piece of wood stuffed in to prevent the piston from being ejected. You turn the caliper, tapping with a nylon mallet, while bleeding.

My favorite misspelling is one made by a woman in a group my wife frequents. This woman was one of your "Wicca" types. She was Googling for information on how to make an altar at which to worship her golden calf or whatever it was. She posted a message to the group complaining bitterly about how little information was available about altars, and about how there must be some kind of conspiracy against Wiccans. Know what was wrong? In all her searches and posts to the group, she was repeatedly spelling it "alter". Eventually somebody pointed out her spelling mistake, after which nothing was heard from her. Either she was too embarrassed to come back or she found what she needed.

Let's keep this ON TOPIC here! If your "breaks" fail, have you suffered a brakedown?

DaveD Eye don't care! This bad gramar and speeling has got to stoop!

My fingers do ti all the time! I also think "teh" should be an approved alternate spelling for "the." <snip> My fingers do ti all the time! I also think "teh" should be an approved alternate spelling for "the." At work I frequently e-mail a gentleman by the name "Teh".
