brake pedal
I finally fixed my brake line!
It was harder than it seemed. i took out the fuel line that goes to the chambers? and squeezed my hand through to remove the other end of the pipe that connects to the proportional value i think it is.
Now, my biggest concern is that my brake pedal is so spongy.
I mean the car doesn't start braking until 3-4 inches into it.
Lets say from the top of the pedal to the very bottom is about 12"., it will start braking after 4" into it. (dont think dirty now
)
I put new brake fluid and bled the brakes 3x2. so pumped each side 3x then did it again. so i pumped all wheels 6x in total.
I checked for any possible leaks but there isn't any.
What could be the cause of this?
Also if i plan to bleed again, i'm wondering if i can mix honda with toyota's DOT3 fluids

I was also told the same by a friend and another person from another site.
thanks again i will attempt this and post back probably saturday.
as for mixing honda with toyota dot 3. is it safe?
just wanted to update you guys that the brakes are finally stiff.
test drove the car after bleeding each wheel 6-8 times then bled them again 6-8times to get the stiffness i desired.
I went through 2 bottles in total.
Thanks for the help guys!
