Bleeding a 2004 Z06
I have to adjust the parking brakes on the Z06 and while I'm under there I thought I'd swap out some speed-bleeders and bleed the rear brakes. I thought I'd do the front speed bleeders later.
I see that the bleed sequence for a 2004 is RR-LF-LR-RF. What will happen, if anything, if I just do the RR and LR and not the fronts?
I assume that it won't matter as long as there is enough fluid in the system to not let any air in. Am I correct?

So your brake lines are RR and LF, and LR and RF. If you don't bleed the front corresponding brake, after you change out the rear bleeder, you risk not getting all the air out of the brake line...........not a good thing, in my estimation.
