Default Question on bleeding the rear brakes.

On the rear brakes there's 2 bleeder valves. Do I bleed the outside first and then the inside one? Or the other way around?

Thanks,
Matt

bought speed bleeders they have a spring loaded check inside. open a 1/4
turn on both in and out and start pumping and filling. no need to open and
close.

no you don't need the engine running. I forgot to say that I got the speed
bleeders from summit racing, the cheapest @ 9.50 for two
