Need some advice. I have a 1996 Honda Accord LX. R/S front brake caliper was sticking and the rotors looked bad so I changed both sides. (Rotors, caliper, pads) Now, as I’m bleeding the brakes, there is not enough fluid pressure to the L/S caliper to move the piston. (Which is odd because the L/S was working fine and the pads were worn evenly) what I done shouldn’t have changed the fluid pressure. I thought maybe the hose running from the brake line to the caliper on the L/S may had collapsed (it looked old) so I changed it but that made no difference. I am kind of stuck and don’t want to just randomly throw parts at it with out having some idea where to start. Also I changed out the Master Cylinder about a year or so. Any advice would be appreciated. Non ABS

 

Does fluid come out of the l/s caliper if you open the bleeder?

 

Just a few drops. The right side bleeds as it should. That is what I was doing when I recovered this. My wife came down to help me bleed the new calipers and when she would pump the brake and hold the pedal there was almost no pressure on the l/s.

 

You'll have to work backwards from the caliper to the brake master cylinder to find out where you are losing pressure. Disconnect at the top of the shock tower and see if you get fluid to come out, the move on to the next place you can disconnect.

 

I went ahead and try to bleed all four brakes. I am getting very little pressure to the back r/s and the left f/s. Could it be the master cylinder?

 

With that other information, it could be the master cylinder.

 

I ordered one this morning. I will post when it arrives and I install it. Thanks everyone.

 

Thank PAhonda, I learn some thing today.

Just an update. Installed the brake master cylinder. That was the problem. Back on the road. Thanks for all the advice everyone!
