After changing front rotors and brake pads on my 1999 Accord LX, Brake peddle goes to floor despite pumping them maney times. I do not have brakes.

bleed the brakes again starting at the longest line at the rear and work forward . The indication is still air in the lines.

Bleed the brakes starting at the longest line first working through to the shortest line

will try to help. 1st remove the wheel, then remove the 2 caliper bolts that hold the brake caliper on. after removal of brake caliper, [it should just pull off after the 2 bolts are removed] replace the brake pads[be sure to apply anti squeal lube to the outer side of the pads..not the pad itself,the one not contacting the brake rotor] install the pads, the you will need a C clamp to push the brake caliper pistons back into the caliper. i've used this installation easily. use the old pad ,place it against the caliper piston,then apply the C clamp and push the caliper piston back into the brake caliper, then the brake caliper will slide back over the new pads easily, no need to bleed the brakes if you use this solution. replace the brake caliper bolts, then go to next side and repeat the process. after the replacement of the front brake pads,pump the brakes with engine running!!! it's really a simple process. be sure the brake pads are facing the brake rotors with the [pads] facicing the rotors. no metal facing metal. easy! if you have added brake fluid recently, do not be alarmed if you see fluid coming out of the brake master cylinder,when you use the C clamp to collaspe the brake caliper back into the recessed position. [as always when you have to add brake fluid to the brake master cylinder,it only means your brakes are wearing naturally. if you have a vibration in front wheels or steering wheel when braking, you have a brake rotor or both front brake rotors that need replacement with your brakes also. hope this helps and as always, please get a second opinion if you have doubt. an expert will be happy to help. thank you for choosing fixya.com

Your model is not to involved with special needs or tools...The brake pads are exposed when you remove the front caliper...this is accomplished by removing the 2 mounting bolts completely, then lift the caliper off of the rotor...be sure to hang the caliper on a strut spring or something to keep it from falling or damaging the brake line...you can pull off the rotors on this model after removing the caliper...You need to push the pistons all the way in to use the new pads...channel locks can do this. I recommend that you include replacing the rotors as this will assure the smooth new operation of pads and rotors...the rotors are inexpensive at about $20-$25...use all lubricants in re-assembling the calipers, and grease your wheel studs for weather-proofing and future service. SPECIAL NOTE: After completion pump the brakes before driving...do not be surprised that the pedal initially goes to the floor...keep pumping to restore...check fluid in master cyclinder to be sure still full...congratulations on replacing your own brake parts and saving $$$$

Removal & Installation


After removing the caliper body, unfasten the retaining bolts and remove the caliper mounting bracket, in order to remove the rotor

1. Use a siphon or clean turkey baster to remove about half of the brake fluid from the master cylinder.
   
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle and remove the tire/wheel assembly.
   
3. Remove the caliper mounting bolts, then lift the caliper assembly away from the brake rotor.
   
4. Use a suitable piece of wire to suspend the caliper assembly. This will prevent the weight of the caliper from being supported by the brake flex hose which will damage the hose.
   
5. Once the caliper body and brake pads are removed, unfasten the caliper bracket mounting bolts, then remove the bracket from the rotor.
   
6. Remove the rotor retaining screws.
   
7. Remove the brake rotor by pulling it straight off the wheel mounting studs or if seized in place, remove the stubborn brake rotor by threading in two 8 x 1.25mm bolts, two turns at a time until the brake rotor is released.
   

To install:

1. If necessary, completely retract the piston into the caliper using a large C-clamp or other suitable tool as provided in the front disc brake pad replacement procedures in this section.
   
2. Install the brake rotor onto the wheel hub and tighten the mounting screws.
   
3. Install the caliper mounting bracket and secure with the retaining bolts.
   
4. Install the caliper and pad assembly over the brake rotor and mounting bracket and install the mounting bolts.
   
5. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level with fresh brake fluid.
   
6. Install the tire/wheel assembly and lower the vehicle.
   
7. Pump the brake pedal until the brake pads are seated and a firm pedal is achieved before attempting to move the vehicle.
   

CAUTION Do not move the vehicle until a firm pedal is obtained.

1. Road test the vehicle to check for proper brake operation.
   

I WOULD GO BACK AND REBLEED BRAKES STARTING FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT SEE IF THIS HELPS PUMP BRAKE PEDEL SLOWLY THREE TIME HOLD TO FLOOR AND OPEN VAVLE MAKE SHERE NO AIR COMING OUT BEST WAY TO TELL IS GET CLEAR BOTTLE AND BUT BRAKE FLUID IN IT GET A HOSE THAT FITS ON THE FITTING AND PUT HOSE IN THE BOTTLE AND WHEN YOU OPEN BLEEDER YOU CAN SEE THE AIR COME OUT EASER

I just went to Brake Masters this morning and had them replace the Master Cylinder since I was experiencing the pedal very spongy and going to the floor. When they replaced the Master Cylinder and they gave me back the car, the brakes were still spongy and going to the floor. I addressed this to them and they took another look at it, but when I took it for a second time, the brakes were extremely spongy. It was almost like they gave me back my car in worst condition to when I brought it in. Can you help?

you have air in your brake lines

Something doesn't sound right, you shouldn't have to remove the brake line to install pads. Did you have to do this on both sides? Do the new pads and the old pads look the same? Did you get the caliper on crooked? Just recheck your work first before replacing more parts. When you install the caliper, You have to hook the pad on one side first before you slide it over the rotor.

are your rear drums set up? why did you bleed the brakes. when only when you installed new pads?
