Default Best process for bleeding brakes

Getting ready to pull my brakes to add SS braided lines, speed bleeders and painting calipers.

Is there a certain process for doing this? Ie. front first, then rear, can I pull all four at one time or one a a time?

Thanks

Rob

The bleed sequence for the C5 is as follows. . . .

1997 to 2000 RR - LR - RF - LF
2001 to 2004 RR - LF - LR - RF

Which one you change out first and what order you change them in doesn't matter. It's bleeding them afterwards that will count.

Last C5,
Thanks for the reply! I have a '02, replacing the rotors with drilled and slotted as well.
