INSTALLING master cylinder on a Honda Pilot (bench bleeding)

In this video we show how to bench bleed a master cylinder before you put a master cylinder back onto the car. This ensures that all of the Air is out of the master cylinder. Once you get it on the car all four wheels need to be bled in a correct order. He start with the Front Driver side wheel and end with the rear driver side wheel. After completing the job we determined that the master cylinder was actually not the problem. The problem was air was introduced to all four wheels and that is why we could not get any pressure on the panel. Once we blend the two front brakes, we got the pedal to stiffen up. The video shows the process on how to install and check the booster for fluid inside andThe process of getting all the air out. At the end I go through some additional methods to verify your master cylinder is working properly. If you remove your brake lines and Off the master cylinder he will isolate the master cylinder to verify if it is working. If you don’t have any pressure buildup in the pedal it could be your master cylinder or it could be that you have air in all four brake lines to all four wheels.

Hello, I really like your approach with your job. Nice and neat. What are the fittings you used for the bleeding process? And where did you buy it from? Thank You

Please do yourself a favor and use gloves that keep your hands and fingers from getting brake fluid on them.... You can get blood poisoning from it BTDT! Enjoyed the two man portion... Reminded me of my many adventures with my wife of 31 years. Thank you again! Great video, not perfect but a blessing.... It would be nice to find out where a cheap master cylinder bleeder kit can be found?

Do you have a video( I’m not sure what part is called) of removal of black plastic to get easy access to master cylinder?

[@OakPaYoke]

My front passenger brake caliper keep locking and it stuck…do you think I have a bad caliper or master cylinder?

I failed to tell second person to pump pedal more than once on ea tire..time to start over. Pedal still goes down 30% w new pads,no cylinder leak and one line bleed..chances air still in lines?

[@AB-oj1zg]

Correct order is passenger rear, drivers rear, passenger front, drivers front. Always start with the furthest bleeder from the master.

[@alirageef]

Not correct with Honda.

[@eksine]

nope, he's using the correct sequence from honda, you are wrong

[@petermanco8268]

I always thought the same thing. I looked it up thanks to your comment. I'm glad I watched the video. Not sure how much of a difference it would make, but why bother taking the chance. Good video. Appreciate you taking the time.

[@lewylotus2579]

[@Iloveyhwh_1974]

Using a flathead screw driver, is easier than your palm

YOU SHOULD HAVE GLOVES ON AS BRAKE FLUID IS CORROSIVE AND VERY BAD FOR YOUR SKIN... ALSO SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE USED. NOTHING WORSE THAN HAVING BRAKE FLUID IN YOUR EYES...
