Lost pedal pressure after caliper replacement
I just completed a front Caliper, Rotor and brake pad repacement on my 2000 Honda Accord. I bled the system several times, but cannot get the pedal pressure back. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Lost pedal pressure after caliper replacement
You bled it without pedal pressure? How?

Re: Lost pedal pressure after caliper replacement
You need to get someone to help you? You have to have pressure to bleed brakes. When you pump the pedal, pressure should build up. If you're doing it right.

Re: Lost pedal pressure after caliper replacement
I discovered that the calipers were on the wrong sides. They have to be right and left specifically. They bolt on either side, but don't work on either side. Go figure.

Re: Lost pedal pressure after caliper replacement
When your calipers on wrong sides caliper's bleeding screw will be pointed down, if bleeding screw is pointing down you won't be able to bleed air because air is lighter and brake fluid is heavier, heavier stuff settles down in caliper and will come out when you open bleeding screw while air remains in caliper.

Re: Lost pedal pressure after caliper replacement
You replaced the calipers on a 2000 Accord? I have a 2000 Accord with 106,000 miles and I just replaced the rotors and pads 500 miles ago for the first time. I checked the calipers and they were mint! You must be really hard on brakes or else you replaced the calipers when they were still good!

Re: Lost pedal pressure after caliper replacement
If you went 105k on your original brake pads, you must be REALLY loving to your brakes. Also, it is possible he was simply upgrading his calipers.
