Front Brake
Posted on Sunday, October 11, 2009 in Bike Parts
I replaced the front brake pads on a Civic LX 1998 and now the brakes are spongy?
All I did was replace the pads before. Could I have introduced air into the brake line without touching any other part of the braking system?
yes, you might have if the resolution was low on cash. The buffer has to travel more (due to wear) it takes more fluid. It could require all the fluid if the brakes were real low, allowing the air in the lines. Check the fluid level. if it is small (half-full or less), it is a good chance that there is air in the system. Get a quarter DOT3 and starts to bleed until the air is released (May takie some time if the air is at the top of the line as I suspect) Have fun.
