Hey everyone, i've got a little problem with my integra. A while back, one of my rear calipers locked up. I had to replace the caliper and while I did that, I went ahead and replaced my master cylinder since I knew that was going bad as well. After bleeding all the lines, I have no brake pressure at all. The pedal goes straight to the floor. I've rebled my lines several times, and yes, fluid is coming out when I bleed them. I'm kinda at a loss here, any ideas would be great. I would like to get my Integra back on the streets since its starting to get cold here in GA and the heat in my CRX doesn't work.

 

Does the fluid have air bubbles? You supposed the bleed the fluid untill there is no air bubbles left (you need 2-3 people to bleed brakes)! Also when bleeding start from the caliper furthest away from the brake master, which should be your passenger rear, then driver rear, passenger front, and last driver front. Also double make sure that your brake master is tightened and sealed correctly. I used teflon on my threads to make sure nothing was leaking. Last I would check the vaccume line that is connected to the brake master. It assists the brake master.

 

if you are pumping fluid it has go somewhere. clean everything off, pump the brakes some and look for fresh fluid around your calipers and cylinder. It doesn't take much of a leak for the pedal to go straight to the floor.

 

It will certainly take a long time to bleed your brake system if you didn't pre-bleed the master cylinder off the car. This allows the master cylinder to be free of air, thus making it easier/quicker when you bleed your entire brake system. Assemble the resevoir on the master cylinder off the car, and fill it with brake fluid. I would put it on a bench vise so you can pump the cylinder with a screw driver until the ports squirts out brake fluid. There should be a couple plastic nipple fittings that should come with the new cylinder. Just make sure you install them in the ports before you start bleeding them off the car.

 

Thanks for the ideas guys, i'll have to check for leaks when I get home.

 

Figured it out, one of the brake lines was leaking just a little bit. Replaced it, everything works great now. Thanks guys.
