I thought you was supposed to start at the right rear first then left rear then right front and then left front.

Me too. I start the fartherest from master cylinder and work to the closest. But then, I could be wrong.

In my opinion it doesn't matter all that much, do the rear first then the front. The only thing that matters is that all the air is removed. I just rebuilt my rear calipers with standard seals, new rotors, and pads. Over winter the front will be done. In the meantime the brakes are better than ever. The pedal is firm and I can lock them up. Pedal travel is half of what it used to be. The only gripe I got is that I wish it took a little less foot pressure as compared to other vehicles I owned.

Thanks. I had always been told to start the furthest away but after reading all of the posts I guess if you take your time and do it "right" it doesn't really matter.

Default No gaurentee on just 1 pass.

If ur really worried 'bout it just go round twice then it won't matter where u start. More important i think is to use fresh fluid. Nothing out of an old can/bottle thats been opened longer than a day and set on a shelf. And i like my one man bleeders with a catch bottle/cup so i can see how much fluid i put through the line.
Good luck. cardo0
