Honda Accord 98-02: Brake Pad Replacement
I can not see any images now. Can someone repost them? or point me to a diy with pictures for 98 Accord EX?
Thanks for the info on this thread. It's my first time changing honda brake pads and I would have never known to screw the piston in (my wife's ford had the type of piston you had to push back in). Anyway, this info made the process go super fast and easy. Thanks!

I’ve just changed the front brake pads. Easy job (usually). However, this time I find that the pedal acts as though there is air in the system, yet the level in the master cylinder never went below minimum when I removed excess fluid. It feels solid with the engine off, but goes to the floor with it running.
In the past I’ve simply pushed the piston in with a G clamp, but some videos I’ve seen clamp the brake hose and release fluid through the bleed nipple. Should I have done that and why? Have I damaged any part of the braking system by pushing the fluid in reverse? Any ideas where I go from here? I tried bleeding them, but to no avail.
