I get left side and right side mixed up depending how you are looking at the car.

Is that Driver's side rear, Passenger side rear, Driver's side front and Passenger side front ?

you can bleed them any way you want......the manual says drivers side rear and then pass side rear....drivers side front and then pass side front...right and left is determined by when you are sitting in the drivers seat looking forward.....some people swear it matters on the sequence but i don't think it does, and yes the corvette sequence is different then whats normally done, and i don't know why
