In what order do you bleed the brakes? I have been told you start with the caliber that is the farthest from the reservoir then work towards the caliber closest to the reservoir. Is the right?

- open hood and remove old fluid from reservoir
- replace with new fluid
- put the pressure bleeder on the the reservoir and pump to 12-15lbs.
- make sure the pressure bleeder is not losing air
- go to bleeder valve and open until new fluid runs through.
- Close valve.
- Check reservoir to make sure you are not running out of fluid
- Check pressure to make sure you are not losing any
- continue to next tire
something like that.....
Thanks!! I'm going to give this a shot in the next few weeks.
