Brake bleeding
I have a 1975 Corvette the front calipers each has one bleeder valve, the back calipers has two bleeders why is there two bleeding valves? Does it make a difference which one you bleed first?
Thanks,

Always bleed the bleeder closest to the inlet first. If your calipers have bleeder on both sides of the disc, do the inside ones first. That means passenger rear inside first, then outside, then driver rear inside, etc.
