Neeed help with brakes on '88 Accord

'88 Honda Accord LX 5 spd. 215K mi.
My brakes started failing today after driving through town and traffic for
about 30-45 min. I had to pull the E-brake a couple of times so I could
stop. It was very hot today, so I'm wondering if that could have been the
cause. After I got back on the highway the brakes seemed to work normally.
My brake light never came on, the pedal was going all the way to the floor.
I had to pump it several times to get pressureback up.Somtimes this didn't
work and I had to use the E- brake. I have checked the fluid ,the level is
good. I replaced the front discs about 3 or 4 months ago, I've never had
any problems with the brakes before this. Please help!

 

replace the master cylinder.

 

Bad Master Cylinder

 

Ditto.

 

Yeah, damn things have a mind of their own. Need a bitch cylinder instead.

 

Since everyone has given you the same answer, have you ever replaced a
master cylinder before? A helpful tip if not. You can just bleed the MC
itself after it's installed.

Just have someone pump the brake pedal a few times and hold.....while
you bleed the air from the 2 lines going directly into the MC. Do them
one at a time and be sure to rinse off the excess brake fluid under the
hood with a water hose. Brake fluid will eat paint among other things.

 

Most master cylinders come with a bleeder kit consisting of lines that
pass fluid directly fed by the M/C back into its resevoir which is a
substitute for "bench bleeding." I do it this way most of the time when
replacing a M/C.

That's fine for the M/C itself, but there is still a chance that air
got into the system when the 2 brake lines were removed. Much easier to
get it out at the M/C than to bleed all 4 calipers.

 

Removed or disconnected?

JT

 

Removed/disconnected from the M/C. Seriously, do you really think I
meant remove the brake lines from the car to install a M/C?

 

I've seen stranger things happen...
