I've always done furthest wheel from the master cylinder to the closest... That's what really matters.

In 2001 GM changed from manual to elctronic proportioning. They changed the bleed sequence from the traditional RR LR RF LF (Furthest to the closest) to a diaganol RR LF LR RF.

Hello,

I have never read about not bottoming the pedal.

Can someone enlighten me about this method?

Neither have I! But then again just go get one of those vacuum pump bleeders, they work great. Just make sure the resv. stays full. I usually give the back side of the caliper a bump with a short piece of 2
X4 to get the bubbles out. Then rebleed about a week after driving around.
