What did you do to your non g-body project today [2025 edition]

Added in the upper vent windows in the greenhouse. Put it up last fall but ran out of time to get them installed. Definitely need em, it was 120 deg in there this morning .....

New rear calipers, parking brake cables and spark plug wires on the '97 Accord. Check out that nasty brake fluid too. Flushed it out on all four corners until I got clean, clear fluid from the bleeders.

Care to be more specific?

ABS pump is full of that trash too, so first time it goes off it'll mix that into your nice, fresh fluid. On my era GM vehicles the correct answer is to cycle the ABS with a TechII or clone during the bleeding process to purge that out of the pump too.

In these older Hondas the fluid in the ABS system and the fluid in the regular brake system are isolated. They have separate reservoirs and everything. It was a weird system but they don't mix.

Weird, but nifty. Must have a piston to separate the 2.
 
On my S-10 the ABS control box is located in line with the various brake circuits meaning that the brake fluid does have to cycle through it to get to the calipers or slave cylinders. One of my to do items this spring is to replace that control box as they apparently can corrode internally because the piston housing is aluminum while the pistons are steel and the fluid, being Dot 3 or Dot 3/4 is hydrophilic meaning that it will absorb moisture and thus be the reason for internal rust and seizure. The ABS light is a permanent fixture on my dash; the brakes work just fine and the ABS actually does cycle when braking on slippery surfaces but it still thinks that it is having a psychotic brakedown and that puts it on my hit list of items to replace or repair.
