brake bleeding
HI,
I am attempt to do my first brake job on an 86 honda accord. It says that when i change just the pads that I dont have to bleed the brake system. Does that go for the shoes as well or should I alawys bleed the brakes when doing a brake job? The bleeding just seems like the hardest part to me. Thanx, david |

Re: brake bleeding
If you do want to bleed the brakes, get a one-man bleed kit. They're basically a hose with a one-way valve on the end.
It takes all the pain from the job. |
