Before start bleeding the CL Hyd system, place the bleeder plug pointing upwards to help the bleeding process.


As the master cyl was primed before the installation, it took just one pedal stroke before the fluid level started to change.


However, super dirty black fluid kept coming out from the bleeder even after lots of pedal strokes with self top up container attached to the reservoir. ...

If you have ever ...

In fact, you can’t even bleed the air on some of the models without activating their ABS modulator.


For most of the latest ABS on NSX, S2000, etc, you will bleed the system from the front side.


You can still ...
