Re: More brake problems: 2003 Honda Civic
ok, dont take my word for it. think about it logically. why would you want to push the master cyl piston to the bottom of the bore where all the contaminants and oxidation is?

For the actual 2-person blood-letting, The Pumper begins by slowly and steadily applying pressure to the brake pedal while The Dumper opens the bleeder. This forces fluid through the system. The Pumper alerts The Dumper to close the bleeder before the end of the pedal stroke to avoid damaging the master cylinder. The cycle continues until no more air bubbles are visible in the tubing and bottle. Remember to top off the master cylinder after every few pumps and dumps. Keep the lids on both the master and brake-fluid bottle to minimize sloshing and the opportunity for air to invade the fluid.
