Sounds like you have issue's. I am wondering if the brakes worked fine before hand?? You where just replacing pads I am assuming??
If so did you damage one or both calipers when you compressed them?? I would recheck your work!! :loser:

It could be air, sometimes it can be dificult bleeding the brakes. I would suggest at this point bring it to a tech to inspect. Stay away from the brake shops they are a rip off. Find a good local mechanic or spend the money to go to a reputable dealer. :rofl:

Using a c-clamp to compress the caliper is a bad idea. Could cause dirt to go back up in the master cylinder cutting the seals in it. If you replaced the master cylinder then that knocks out that possibility, but throws in the possibility of the master cylinder having air in it. Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? If you did, make sure you are bleeding the calipers in the correct order...which I don't have a manual here in front of me to tell you, but I know Honda likes a criss-cross pattern and if you don't do it in that pattern, your just kind of SOL.

Bleed it at the master then go to the wheels.
