Vehicle -> 1987 Honda Accord Lx - Automatic - Carb
Had master cyl. replaced in Aug. '05 - fluid level was starting to drop.
Last week I replaced the rear shoes as they were worn and also replaced wheel cyls. as they were leaking. The next day I decided to just go full circle and replace front pads as well.
I bled using the pump-pedal method and followed the wheel sequence: LF -> RR -> RF -> RR as outlined in the FSM.
The brake pedal is not dangerously low, but nowhere near as firm as I would have hoped considering all that's been done.
I did the bleeding with the engine off. Nothing in the factory manual indicated the engine needed to be idling while doing this as is recommended in some makes.
Has anyone had any better luck bleeding this yr/make/model with the engine idling?
Thanks for your time.
