Have to fix a friends car before I even work on my own 94 accord. Because I will be borrowing that car while my accord is down for a few days.
I have to replace both rear discs and pads which is easy, but also the rear left caliper which is blown out. (the pads were used to the point of self destruction, ejected entirely from the caliper, so then the piston depressed too far, leaked brake fluid through the caliper, and was limped home two blocks and parked)
I dont think the caliper should be too hard (but if youve done one/if there are any unique hangups or problems to warn of please tell me) as I watched a video, my main concern is about how to bleed the system, because this is an ABS system and i've only ever messed about with non-ABS systems so far when I replaced a caliper myself before. So I dont know if anything is different.
Thankfully I have someone to help so it's not a one man bleed. But i'm worried about air in the system ever since the caliper blowout. (I corked it off to stop it leaking further but i've no clue if air bubbles would travel up thru separate hydraulic and ABS stuff - it's sat in the garage since then for several months as I had no way to get to or help him and he had a 2nd car) Could someone walk me through how to get the air out of the system I fear is there including on what I think is a separate ABS piping?
