Re: How much brake fluid would ge good?
Well, to answer my own question, I used a little less than half a quart
of brake fluid. I probably would have gone through the whole quart,
but I couldn't get the rear left valve loose.
Using my flare wrench, I couldn't loosen the rearleft bleed screw.
The head is rounded and I don't know how I should go about turning it
w/ out breaking it. Any suggestions?
Once loosened I can replace it with a new bleed screw I guess.
Any one w/ experience here? Thanks!

if its already wrecked, use some penetrating oil on it, and a small pipe
wrench shold do the trick. Get a new one from the wrecker or honda.

Re: How much brake fluid would ge good?
I was afraid the penetrating oil might contaminate the brake system.
Is there a compatible lube I could use in this application, one that
might be better in a 'brake systems' situation?
It's a pain because I didn't get to finish flushing my Brake System.
I got the new MC on and made sure to bleed that, but I couldn't drain
all the lines. The line going to the rear left tire is the guilty
bleed screw... I'm not horribly worried, I just I wanted to get that
old fluid out of that line. I also hope all that old fliud stays in
that line and doesn't migrate throughout the rest of the system, but I
guess it makes sense that it would eventually mix together, but
hopefully not too soon.
Thanks man!

If you know you are going to replace it anyway, try the vice-grips.

Yeah,
this is what I'm thinking. I need to make a run up to the junk yard
and see if I can locate one. Maybe a few, I doubt I'd find my
identical car, just similar ones a year or so apart. I couldn't find
simple bleed screws anywhere, just the fancy ones that have valves or
something in them so you can bleed them easier.
I've got a one-man brake bleed kit which is quite simple to use, just
a bottle w/ a tube going to the bleed screw nipple, so I'm not
interested in these more expensive screw types.

Re: How much brake fluid would ge good?
Did you check with the counter people at Autozone? IIRC,
they keep ordinary bleeder screws behind the counter for a
few dollars each.
