Closing and opening the bleeder fitting varies between tires. I've noted the differences below to save you some trial and error:
Left Front - Pull to you towards you to open, Push towards the vehicle to close
Right Front - Push towards the vehicle to open, pull towards you to close.
Left Rear - Push towards the vehicle to open, pull towards you to close.
Right Rear - Pull to you towards you to open, Push towards the vehicle to close
This video addresses the procedure to replace the DOT3 brake fluid in a 2018 Honda Accord. I used approximately 36 ounces of fluid in this change.
When the work is complete, pump the brake pedal and confirm it becomes firm and indicates pressure is present. Go for a test drive to confirm the brakes are in working order.
If you use a turkey baster to remove the brake fluid, you'll need to use it with a hose like I have in this video. This is due to a number of internally raised ledges within the Brakes master Cylinder fluid reservoir that prevents large objects from being inserted. These ledges can be seen in the overhead view of the reservoir in my video.
All steps can be performed using standard hand tools.

What a clear and concise video for bleeding brakes on a clean car. It is understood this video is solely for changing the brake fluid and not addressing issues such as corroded or stuck bleeder fittings. Your presentation is very thorough with excellent quality. Thank you for sharing this.
I wish all Accord maintenance/repair tutorials where like this! Great video
Thank you for clear, concise and helpful instruction.
The Best video tutorial ever!! Great Job!
Finally a video that’s quick and to the point with no cheesy introduction lol
Great video! Thank you! Deserves more upvotes!
Very helpful tutorial; worked on my 2021 Touring.
Bleeding sequence for 2018 Accord at 1:52. Thx for a great video.
Thank you. Very helpful
It is a really helpful video!
Great detailed video. 👌🏾
Thank you for this clear and helpful video. Do you know the size of the drain hose?
Any plans to make a video on doing a valve adjustment or drive belt replacement for the accord?
Good video. The only thing I'd change is I'd only refill the master cylinder at the end to the same level it was at when you started. That way you don't have to remove fluid the next time you change brake pads.
This is correct. When replacing your brake fluid only fill the reservoir back to the level it was at when you started. When you push the caliper pistons back in it will send brake fluid back through the lines into the reservoir.
Where do the jack stands go in the back of the car? I would normally put them on the pinch wield, but since it is used to lift the car here, I am wondering a good point to put the jack stand.
Wish I knew this sooner. Just paid $245 at dealer
Hi noticie what Honda only sales lf4 brake fluid thath smells orgánic oil Like the old Castor oil
Why brake fluid need to be change ?
👍👍👍👍
do i need to apply a little bit of pressure for the pump before opening the bleeder fitting every single pump or just the first time for each tire?
Every time.
Can I just fill the master tank with new fluid without running the fluid through calipers? Thanks
No, to be effective you need to replace all fluid.
How many pumps per caliper or what pressure should I have it at when bleeding ? Thanks in advance
No set value, just draw until it runs clear.
So do you press down on the brake before or after you break open the bleeder?
Before
Just got off the phone with a Honda service center, they said they don't need to take off the tires because they have a machine that bleeds it, does this sound legit? I'm so weary of corporate service centers.
They can probably access all the bleed valves by putting the car on a lift. The machine they have probably connects to the master cylinder reservoir, so it can pump in fluid as they open each wheel bleeder valve. Basically like a garden sprayer with a pressure gauge and adapters to fit various car master cylinder reservoirs.
So just one question. Does the car have to be on while bleeding the brakes?
No
@@DavidStumph thank you for the reply
