Default How to Bench Bleed the Master Cylinder & ABS*Help Please*

Hi Folks,

I replace my Brake booster on my S2000. I would now need to bleed the master cylinder and ABS. I find this thread( https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-un...er-abs-509404/) that explain how to do it. My question is: This isn't explicitly mentioned in Rob's article but I assume you must do this to each brake line in the order specified by Honda? Can you please let me know.

Best regards,

wow that seems like a PITA. Why not just bleed the normal route?

I think the normal way just requires a bit more effort and time, especially if you're gravity bleeding. That said, if you f up one of the hard lines running into the abs control module you're gonna be much worse off. I always say leave well enough alone. Fill the reservoir, then pump and bleed. A speed bleeder would do you wonders.

Great, I'll do that then much easier than is method I agree. But it's gonna work just as good doing the normal bleeding route?

Speed Bleeder is an aftermarket replacement bleeder screw with a built in one way check valve. Allows you to one man pedal bleed. Attach a hose to bleeder nipple, loosen screw. Pump pedal, bleed corner.

They even go so far as using thread sealant so when you loosen, you don't get air leaking back via threads when you pump.

Amazon Amazon


^^this will draw fuild all the way through the system. Once you get fluid coming through the caliper, you then should disconnect and switch to gravity bleeding.
