1999 Honda CRV brake pedal depth

I can tell you that Honda is well known to blow master cylinders while bleeding if the pedal is pressed all the way to the floor, so it may not be in your head. If you do get a new mqaster t fix it, be careful to bleed pushing the pedal only a few inches while bleeding! I think Honda has a technical bulliten about this.Here is the bulliten from Honda: PRESS BRAKE PEDAL HALFWAY TO AVOID PISTON SEAL DAMAGE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN Reference Number(s): HSN 1001-03,  Date of Issue:   October, 2001 Related Ref Number(s): HSN 1001-03 ARTICLE BEGINNING SERVICE INFORMATION On all Honda models, if you're manually bleeding the brakes, make sure whoever's pumping the brake pedal pushes it only halfway to the floor. If the pedal is pushed all the way to the floor, you run the risk of driving the master cylinder secondary piston into any sediment or deposits that may have collected on the piston cylinder walls. If this happens, the piston seals can get permanently damaged and cause a leak.
