Bleeding is done one wheel at a time.* The "old timers" will tell you to start with the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and then work your way closer.* Typically, this would mean RR, LR, RF, then LF.* However, it doesn't really matter if you start with the front or rear wheels, since they are on separate brake circuits on modern cars with ABS and/or dynamic stability control systems.* However, you should start with the passenger side wheel and then do the driver's side.

Begin at the corner furthest from the driver and proceed in order toward the driver. (Right rear, left rear, right front, left front.) While the actual sequence is not critical to the bleed performance it is easy to remember the sequence as the farthest to the closest. This will also allow the system to be bled in such a way as to minimize the amount of potential cross-contamination between the new and old fluid.

Always bleed your brakes starting with the wheel that is furthermost from the master cylinder first then the second farthest and so on, it should be in the order of RR-LR-RF-LF
