I think you work from farthest away to nearest to Master Cylinder. So RR, LR, RF, LF.

My manual says L.R.I.S, L.R.O.S, R.R.I.S, R.R.O.S, L.F, R.F. That's exactly opposite from the way I learned to do it, but it works on my car, so I do it in that sequence.

I bleed brakes beginning with the farthest from the master cylinder. On Corvettes, the inner rear caliper halves have to be beld before the outers. The order I use is:
right rear inner,
right rear outer,
left rear inner,
left rear outer.

Front calipers only have one bleeder.
right front,
left front.

I've never had a problem using this order for bleeding..

My Haynes repair manual also starts at Left rear inner,Left rear outer,but on the forum I see it starting with right rear inner right rear outer. I rebuilt my front calipers and replaced pads bleeded right front first than left full brake pedal now I want change all the brake fluid out now on the rear

I used the sequence outlined by Mack76 and Easy Mike when I replaced my calipers and flushed all the old fluid. It worked great.

I agree with Mack76 my GM manual also states LRIS/LROS/RRIS/RROS/LF/RF
and for what it is worth boys and girls GM did build our modes of transportation the last time I checked. :chevy
