Help Bleeding Brakes
I replaced the rear calipers in my 93 integra and I can't get all the air out of the system. I don't have a manual. Is there an order for which caliper to do first, second, etc...?
My technique is just to have someone pump the pedal, hold the pedal down, then I open the bleed nipple.

I don't know the order for '93, but if you do the wrong order I think the only problem is you have to go around a couple times to get all the air out. So just keep going.
If you let it drain, plan on bleeding around a pint thru each rear caliper. It takes a while. Are you ONLY bleeding the rear? I've never been able to get away with that. Bleed all 4.

You're probably both right. My '95 GSR is like Driver says, but my '98 Accord is like Tobra says. (Both per their Helm books.)
With ABS, the bleeding order is all about which circuit pushes air bubbles into which other circuit. That just depends on the plumbing details around the ABS unit, which changed between '97 & '98.

Thanks for the help. I also learned that when you replace rear calipers they don't always adjust to take up the extra space between the pads and the disk, so you have to turn them out more (using a special tool) to take up the slack.
