Q. re: bleeding brakes vs. ABS system
Hello --
I am looking to replace the brake fluid for the car listed in my sig.
I have been reading the Helms manual to find information on this process. The Brakes section has 2 sub-sections: Brakes and ABS.
I've been trying to figure out how the two sections correlate in regards to bleeding/fluid replacement. Do I bleed all the individual brake lines first and then the ABS reservoir, or the other way around? Any input on the correct order would be appreciated. Thanks.

What Accord? They have different systems in later models.
Up to about 1997 they had a reservoir. You could remove/refill the fluid and not require any bleeding, but would leave a small amount of old fluid in the modulator. If you progressively crack the bleeder, you should remove all the old fluid.
Bleeding main brakes w/ ABS is same as non-ABS; replace reservoir fluid and progressively bleed each while while topping up reservoir as necessary.
good luck
