'sup all, I've got a 1993 Honda Accord and I'm going to change my mastercylinder, as well as replace the brake fluid that's in there. I wasthinking about letting gravity drain the fluid from the reservoir andreplace the fluid as it drains. Is that a good idea? I wonder if Idon't get it all out, how would the two different (assuming justdifferent in age) behave together? Old vs. New. I guess I should geta little bit more fluid to drain it good.Then I was going to replace the Master Cylinder. I need to take thebrake hoses off, but do I drain the reservoir first? Maybe untilalmost empty. my main quandry is How does air not get into the brakelines when I unscrew them from the old master cylinder? How much brake fluid does anyone recommend I should get to drainthe system fully and put the new MC on? I was thinking one of thosebig bottles, like 1Ltr. or something would do, though I don't know howmuch fluid the system even contains. Could anyone help me with this? How much brake fluid is in thesystem? I don't want to run out, but I don't know what I'd do withalot of extra fluid either. maybe I'll just flush until I have enoughto fill the MC plus a little bit more for later :)

The order of bleeding for the '93 accord is Rear Right, Front Left, Rear Left, Front Right. I'm going to have to figure a way to tackle the pushrod freeplay issue. Okay. I got my refurbished MC and so I'm just waiting for the opportune moment, like when I have a 3day weekend or something... I've always got AAA to drag me to the mechanic ..
