I always do the passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, and finally driver front. You always want to bleed the longest lines first.
Make sure you run them till the fluid is clear and no more bubbles appear.
1 quart of fluid should be more than enough.Did you buy a bleeder machine or are you going to do it the old fashioned way?
Doing it old school, I have speed bleeders in the rear that let me open the bleeder and LEAVE them open until complete.
I'm going with the rear first.
Thanks!
Have you an assistant for the front brakes?
A small length of rubber hose into a bottle will allow you to see when the fluid flows clear.
Good point. If you have ABS don't mess with it until you have read the service manual. In fact, that's always a good idea.
I always heard that the brakes are bled from the furthest point first, this would make the sequence RR, LR, RF, LF.
