An indep. garage replaced my brake fluid along with a new master cylinder and right rear wheel cylinder, in 4.5 hours. That's probably as long as it would have taken me to do it.
It's a '94 Honda Civic 3D HB DX with 62,000 original miles on it.
The pedal wasn't nearly as high or as hard as I expected. I don't want to go back to that place.
Anybody have specs on this? The factory manual didn't.
Here's one person's guidelines:
"
(1) Inspection procedures. With the engine running on vehicles equipped with power brake systems, and the ignition turned to “on” in other vehicles, apply a force of 125 pounds to the brake pedal and hold for 10 seconds. Note any decrease in pedal height, and whether the lamp illuminates.
(c) Brake pedal reserve. When the brake pedal is fully depressed, the distance that the pedal has traveled from its free position shall be not greater than 80 percent of the total distance from its free position to the floorboard or other object that restricts pedal travel.
"
Haven't done the 125 pounds yet but the pedal does not continue to sink under my foot. I guess I could ask the MD DMV for their particular specs.
