What is the proper order to bleed brakes?
I want to replace the brake fluid as best as I can by bleeding them.
Not concerned with getting air out just fluid replacement!

Thanks... Barry

In this case it won't make a whole lot of difference. Generally one wants to bleed the longest line first. Since you have a dual MC, there are two distinct hydraulic systems involved. Makes no difference whether you do front or rear first. On the rears, there are two bleeders per caliper rather than one as on the fronts, so get clean fluid from both sides.
