Like you stated normally you start at the furthest wheel but I believe Honda recommends doing this (1)drivers front, (2)passengers front, (3)passengers rear, (4) drivers rear.
No it doesn’t damage the master cylinder, yes, that is correct 8 time pushing the pedal is sufficient, the main thing is not to run out of brake fluid in the master cylinder as you’re flushing, once clean fluid comes out you can stop, it could only be 4 times
Awesome video, I just did my brakes 3 months ago completely rebuilt brakes front and rear with new calipers on my 2007 EX Coupe . Flushed system with harbor freight brake pressure bleeder for 34.00 tht connects to brake bleeders and a compressor awesome tool, it took me 45 mins,fluid was black as coal, car from Miami Florida, thks for sharing,
I love the turkey baster idea. I've always used a large syringe. But the plunger tends to degrade over time, so I have to keep buying them. The turkey baster seems like it would hold up longer, plus you can pretty much operate it with one hand, as opposed to the syringe which you kind of can use one handed, but it's not nearly as easy.
One step not mentioned…Spray the inside of the brake nipples with brake cleaner then dry them out with compressed air before putting the rubber nipple caps back on.
Made my own brake bleeder from a video I found on YT. It's so so. But the one you used seems way more convenient and it has the magnet to attach to the car. Thanks for sharing, you have good videos
@@dannysdiygarage thanks for the reply… I don’t have any issue with steering, I feel bit hardness while turning at slow speeds even I changed my steering fluid recently but no use I suspect that it is an issue with suspension bearings…
Great video. Instead of a turkey baster, I use a battery acid filler - you find these in battery accessory section of auto parts stores. Bulb has a bit more capacity.
Danny i love the video. Thanks for making this. I saw another method where you can use a vacumm extractor tool to attach to the bleeder valve and pump the trigger to extract/suck out the brake fluid from the line into a container. Don't need to go into vehicle and pump pedal. Not sure which method I'll use at this time. Question: What product did you use to epoxy your garage floor? Did you DIY that ? or have company come in and do it for you? I'd be interested in you doing a video on how you did your floor if you did it yourself?Thankyou!
Hi Danny, when pushing the brake pedal how far do you press the pedal? 100% to the floor or just half way? The honda service manual does not specify, but we have toyotas too and the camry service manual specified with bleeder closed pump up the pedal 3 times and hold it steady and have someone else crack bleeder without moving brake pedal further, then close bleeder after fluid stops moving while person in car still holding brake pedal at same position pressed in Is that toyota service manual method overkill? Honda does not specify this great of detail in service manual
Hey Danny, The Honda service manual says bleed order is front left front right rear right rear left. Would you recommend following the Honda service manual in this case?
@@dannysdiygarage I noticed Toyota Camry service manual specified the order you did here. Service Manual for civic and accord state the bleed order as clockwise starting with driver front and ending driver rear (when thinking of a top down view of vehicle)
Hi Danny, I have Honda Civic X 2018 model and i am planning to flush it's brake system for the first time. Do i need to push the brake pedal all the way down, wouldn't that damage master cylinder seals? Further, what i got from your video is that u pushed pedal 11, 8, 7, 8 times from farthest to nearest. Hope to hear from u soon. Thanks
Hi danny, i had a quick question. There are two reservoirs for break fluid a smaller one and the bigger one, and the smaller one is empty in mine. Just wanted to know what's that and should i fill in both of them or not?
@dannysdiygarage it's 2010 honda civic 1.8 ivtec. Both the smaller and the bigger one says use Dot4 break fluid. It's also visible in your video, right next to the container that you are filling. I guess it's the clutch fluid. My doubt was that both uses the same fluid or not?
Hi,Thanks for the video. Im from Malaysia and i have a 2012 Honda Civic 2.0s (9th Gen). The honda brake fluid that i will be purhasing is 1Litre. Would i need more than a litre of fluid to do a proper flush on all four tyres? Hope to hear from you soon.
HONDA "manual" for ABS actually says...... START at the drivers front, passenger front, passenger rear then Drivers rear when bleeding... Don't push pedal all the way down...
Why not push pedal all way down? Camry manual says to pump pedal three times and hold midway and have buddy crack bleeder loose and let fluid out then tighten bleeder when flow stops and then driver release pedal and repeat steps same order until bled Have a civic accord and Camry
Hi Danny, Nice video...! Kindly help me out with following query; Before replacing front and read brake pads, callipers' pistons are pressed inwards and fluid level in reservoir comes to max level subject to there isn't any leak in system. Do we need to bleed air in that case? Thanks.
short answer is no, check out this video I did on replacing pads, around the 3 minute mark I explain this process about pushing your old fluid back into your reservoir, ruclips.net/video/rSS5KP_2mLY/видео.html
Great video thanks Dan. Is there any specific torque to tighten the bleeder screws? Also my son’s car has rear drum brakes. I assume the process is still the same but the different size wrench mentioned at the end? Thanks in advance!
I'm all for using OEM parts and fluids but any name brand brake fluid will work just as well and be a lot cheaper. Honda doesn't make their own brake fluid.
Probably one of the better Honda maintenance channels.

Turkey basters are also cheep to purchase

Thank you Danny
Great Danny, will try soon to flash brake system. Thanks!!!
I’m so thankful you took the time to make this video.
Thank you for stopping by and watching, appreciate your gratitude
Thank you boss!
Thanks Danny. I'm going to give it a try!
Easily accomplished, good luck and let us know how it turns out
Thank you for all your videos, it has helped me alot
You're very welcome! Appreciate your support
Thanks for the video… can you please make video on how to diagnose hard steering wheel ?
I’ll put it on my list, I’d love to know more about your steering issue
@@dannysdiygarage thanks for the reply… I don’t have any issue with steering, I feel bit hardness while turning at slow speeds even I changed my steering fluid recently but no use I suspect that it is an issue with suspension bearings…
Thanks, that’s a great idea for a video, (Checking Suspension), appreciate the feedback
Great video. Instead of a turkey baster, I use a battery acid filler - you find these in battery accessory section of auto parts stores. Bulb has a bit more capacity.
appreciate your input, great recommendation, I added it to the description on what to buy to do the job
Thank you for your these videos

Couldn't you have used dot 4 break fluid?
Good job, Thanks a lot
Hey Danny,
The Honda service manual says bleed order is front left front right rear right rear left. Would you recommend following the Honda service manual in this case?
I would recommend following the owner manual recommended procedure, mine came out perfect, I should have read the service manual
@@dannysdiygarage
I noticed Toyota Camry service manual specified the order you did here.
Service Manual for civic and accord state the bleed order as clockwise starting with driver front and ending driver rear (when thinking of a top down view of vehicle)
Perfect and clear. Sped up the video 1.5x and it was perfect. Thank you very much.

I’m not familiar with two brake fluid reservoirs, what year and make of vehicle?

Yes if you own a manual it would be for the clutch master and slave cylinder
@@dannysdiygarage Yes I own a manual. so you mean to say that both the reservoirs hold the same fluid?
@ yes, usually they do

yes that should be enough

Follow the manual, it won’t matter at the end, results are the same
Why not push pedal all way down?
Camry manual says to pump pedal three times and hold midway and have buddy crack bleeder loose and let fluid out then tighten bleeder when flow stops and then driver release pedal and repeat steps same order until bled
Have a civic accord and Camry
Great video!
Appreciate you
good video
Another awesome video Danny. Thanks. Although I did miss your great soft music you usually play. Ha ha
Appreciate you 👍🏼
Danny, would this procedure work the same for my wife Hyundai Santa Fe??
Yes

Yes process is the same, I’m sure there’s a specification, I didn’t use it, tighten it and check to make sure it doesn’t leak and you’re done
@@dannysdiygarage thanks Dan have a great holiday ahead.
@@timt7657 you also ❤️
My caliper bleeders are snapped off thanks Midwest salt
I'm all for using OEM parts and fluids but any name brand brake fluid will work just as well and be a lot cheaper. Honda doesn't make their own brake fluid.
Great information, thanks for adding
How much fluid was needed ?
Two 12 fluid oz bottles was plenty
With drums in the back is it the same process or you just do the front end? Thanks Danny
Same procedure
@@dannysdiygarage ok thanks
Do i need to release hand brake while doin this sir?
Probably a good idea, however it will work either way
The correct order for this car is front driver, front passenger, rear passenger, rear driver
Yes, that’s is what’s recommended
I honestly don't think it matter that much.
