New owner of a 2006 TSX has 43K miles on it I want to change the brake fluid have read other posts but I have one question can I jack up one side at a time remove the tire and bleed? Or do I have to put the entire car on jack stands remove all wheels so the car is level when bleeding?
Thanks for your input!

 

Hasn't anybody bled their brakes to fill with new fluid? How did you guys do it?

 

I've only placed my car on 4 jack stands when doing this job. Start from the front drivers, go clockwise, end at the rear drivers. Unsure if using 1 jack at a time is harmful.

 

Not necessary to place on jack stands, but necessary to support car safely on a jack stand w/ jack as backup as you will need to get directly under the car to perform the bleeding.

System flows under brake pedal pressure and does not depend on gravity unless you try a "gravity bleed". Even here the wheel is still much lower than the brake reservoir so leveling is not necessary.

I just ordered a hand vacuum pump to perform vacuum bleeded from wheel. I've always used brake pedal pumping and it's messy.

good luck

 

Where did you get the hand pump from? How much was it? I would prefer using this method instead of depending on another person to pump the brakes

 

Harbor Freight has them on sale for $20+shipping/tax for about $30 total.

good luck
