As long as you bleed one caliper all the way, and don't let the resivor run out, you can do them in any order. Just watch the resivor or you will be starting over.

You should bleed the longest line first, and end up at the shortest.

follow what ramair95 said.


(just giving you the principal behind his order)

Capitol J in first sentence.
Semi-colon instead of a period.
Capitol I in second sentence.
Recommend was spelled incorrectly.

And the errors in your signature.

Lesson learned here is you need to take the same class probably..

Lol everyone is different. I can understand you..now the people that write one big *** long paragraph with no periods or capitol letters to show some distinction of a separate sentence pretty much confuse the **** out of me..lol
