hey all,
i've been driving my 1992 EX for about two years now, minimal problems so far... replaced a CV shaft about six months ago and that's it. until now...
about a month ago, i started to notice that the brakes would run out of pressure if i was slow to apply braking... so, in other words, if i slowly stopped, i ran out of braking power, whereas if i hit hard, it would stop in a jiffy. local mechanic said it was the master cylinder causing problems, so i went about replacing that. got the sucker in, bled the brakes once, with a ton of air being removed from the front left valve... and driving it, the pedal is very soft once the engine is started... of course, with the engine off, there is a ton of stiffness to the pedal. i havent bled the brakes yet a second time because i dont want to waste time on that if i dont have to. yep, i'm lazy.
so, any opinions on whether i should go to the work of bleeding again, or should i just take it into my local honda dealer? (great bunch of people, but i'm poor right now)
