I’ve been really busy the last few weeks so I’ve been neglecting to post up new information on my blog but today I figured I would finally post something.

2 Weeks ago I topped up my anti-freeze in both my Civic’s as my previous drain and fill of 50/50 mix was not good enough for Canadian winters so I had to drain some coolant out again and topped it up with pure antifreeze.

I also did a front brake job on the 95 Honda Civic but within a few days they started to pulsate again. I pulled the disks of the hubs and checked for any rust between them and there was very little there that would cause the disk to warp so I went back to the parts store and exchanged them for new ones. Just to be sure the hub was super clean I used my drill with a scratch pad attachment and cleaned both hubs to a clean metal surface. I put the new disks back on and took the car for a ride and it seems to have worked. I also checked the hub for free play and none was visible so I will have to drive it again for a few days and see if this has fixed the pulsating pedal issue.

My 1993 Honda Civic has recently been making some really odd scuffing sounds form the rear drums. I’m gonna have to look into this when I can but I did replace the whole back brake system back in august so I don’t see the brake shoes being worn this fast. I will also post up a complete front brake how-to when I get a chance, so come back soon if that’s what you might be doing in the near future and need this as a reference.
