93 Accord automatic, 2.2L, DX. Disc brakes front, drum rear.

Brakes werent stopping the car very well.
Pedal was depressing all the way to the floor especially when first starting out (would come back after pumping them), but the car took a long time to come to a stop.

-first thing I did was replace the front brake pads/rotors, didnt really help
-Brake fluid in the reservoir was OK
-I read that it might be air in the brake line, so I bled that (open the little nipple on the caliper, have someone depress the brakes, kept that going until only fluid came out, replenish fluid in reservoir)
- that helped a little bit, but still not sufficient by any means.
- so I replaced the master cylinder, did the bench bleeding, then bled the brakes using the nipple on the caliper.

It's better, but still not an abrupt stop like I expected at all.. standing on the brakes with everything I have does not squeal the tires, not even close.

what's left? Calipers?

thanks!!

 

Are your rear drums adjusted up ok? May still have air in systom also were parts honda or after,mkt I have seen aftermkt master cyl that were bad

 

Might do a complete bleeding of the brake system....which includes the rear. While bleeding the rear, check the shoes.

Also, be sure to bleed the brakes in the proper order. EDIT: see pic

 

Thanks all, I'll give it a try.

 

Joe, master cylinder was from PEP boys.. not genuine Honda I would suspect..?
