is there anyone in the norfolk area that would be willing to help me with my brakes. what ive done is a rear disc swap (off a 91 si crx) on my 88 civic and now i cant get the brakes to work. ive tried to bleed them multiple times and they still dont work. so if there is anyone willing to help that would be great. thanks

you sure you have all your lines hooked up correctly? A braking system is very simple, shouldn't be a problem.

yeah all the brakes worked before i took the discs off the crx and my brakes worked on my hatch before taken off. i didi hook everything up. ill check onemore time though.

Like what exactly is happening when you step on the pedal do they work at all? Also I think you are suppose to use the brake booster aswell from the 91 crx si, correct me if i'm wrong though.

everytime i bleed the brakes there is no pressure. and from what i was told by a couple of people that have dont the swap is that i dont need the booster or the mc

CHAHONDA

that is true.....also sounds like you have alot of air in the system.

what is it when every time i push on the brakes i can hear air going through my intake, like it is sucking?

hondazccivic

Ya, all it is, is air in your brake lines, depending on how much u could just keep pumping the brakes and eventually it might start to work properly, or keep bleeding the brakes until it works.

ill try bleeding them more tomorrow. i really hope it works.
