    I'm not sure if the process is the same on the 6th gen as it is on the 5th, but 45 minutes would be incredible. Well done.

    I have never used a mightvac or similar. Used this. Pushes the fluid up into the reservoir rather than sucking it through.

    The processes are very similar and yes, 45 minutes would be a great accomplishment. Don't think It would go as fast solo, unless you have speed bleeders!

    It's best done with two people. I'm one of the apparently many whose vacuum bleeder doesn't pull fluid nearly fast enough to do the system in a timely fashion, so I usually enlist the help of a friend or my wife to press the pedal while I operate the bleeder screws; if I have the rear caliper off and the tank moved up ahead of time, it usually takes less than an hour to do the entire system. Why Honda decided a brake system with seven bleed points was a good idea, I'll never know.
