Brakes bleeding

[Rainy]

Hi all, can someone point me in right direction about bleeding brake system ? I rebuilt master cylinder and front brakes and cant seem to bleed hydraulic system (did it like 20 times now, tried bench bleed of MC and different bleed setup I found on civics ). Brake pedal still very soft and effective only all way down.

Know these civics are hell to bleed mate, I struggled bleeding Ruby. Not sure if there's something else you need to do after replacing/rebuilding the master cylinder? Know that Ruby's new owner fitted uprated brakes to her (twin pot calipers etc I think and upgraded master iirc) and hasn't been able to get the brakes working since. Can't get them to bleed. Cars now been sitting for over 2 years as he's lost interest I think.

I guess Ruby was your ex car  but wth, i tried like every possible way of bleeding but to no avail , last option will be to "suck" air with compressor gun

[Dave]

You could try one of those one man bleed kits? They tend to be quite good although not used one myself.

[Rainy]

Which one you mean ? Because I tried "gravity bleed" and even pulling fluid out with oil puller

Do you have someone to help or trying to do on your own with an easi bleed or whatever?

 

I only ask as in the past I've really struggled on my own..

 

Soon as ask a friend to do the pedal pushing as I open and close the bleed Nipples. Suddenly starts to go to plan.

Yeo I had help, friend was pushing pedal and I did the bleeding, as I said before we tried everything we could find on google about civic bleeding and brake pedal is still soft and braking effect is only at the very low end. Which bleeding sequence did you used Kink? Same as picture above or different ? 

[KiNK43]

Same sequence as picture yes. 

 

Pedal down. Open bleed nipple. Close bleed nipple. Pedal up. 

Repeat.

If defo doing right. Maybe time to look for a fault? Leak or master cylinder?

[Rainy]

Tried again today, no luck, Iam sentenced to have low effective brakes  no leaks, master cylinder was rebuilt like half year ago

I had the same issue after rebuilding mine .it took ages to bleed there's probably air trapped in your abs module .bleed it with the engine running aswel to get maximum effort then go for a spin and try to cycle through the abs a few times then repeat .that solved my issue it took ages to bleed .also be mindful of worn brake pads and discs if they are worn you'll have excessive pedal travel .I changed my front discs and pads and it improves the pedal travel alot
