    I'm picking up my first CRX today. Its a project but I'm getting it for $500. Ive helped my buddy work on his for years he has 4 of them. Luckily he has amassed a large inventory of extra parts so I will be getting deals on whatever I need for the car. I'm super excited to start this build.

    aren’t you supposed to measure the push rod pin to the new brake MC to ensure it is within specs? especially when using an aftermarket brake MC the spec could be way off. when you fill the brake fluid can you share which bleeding method you prefer? thank you.

    • @crxseth
      @crxseth  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I’m not sure on that. I can adjust it on the pedal if I need to. I’ll just use a hand vacuum pump on each caliper to bleed.

    • @HiFiInsider
      @HiFiInsider Před 3 měsíci

      ​@@crxseth Honda service manual referenced a special tool to measure the push rob pin to new MC but I have not seen anyone on YT use it. Some prefer vacuum bleed, some pressure, and some reverse. Wondered about your personal preference which method.

    How do you think a chrome paint inside the housing would have done? think it would have made them brighter?

    • @crxseth
      @crxseth  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hard to say. Chrome paint doesn’t ever lay down well. That’s one reason I haven’t done this to headlights yet. Not a good way to re-chrome plastic.

    So you reused the old sealant? I tried to do the oven method and warped the lens badly. Maybe I left it in too long. Luckily it was broken and just for practice.

    Is it possible to restore a break booster? I mean mécanicly, my break pedal is so smooth, I go all the way down waiting at a redlight.
    Also, it feels like it gonna be a pain to get to unplug it under the dash board.
