Front left followed by right rear

Front right followed by left rear

- effectively front to rear diagonally

Years ago I had a kit Car, MK Indy that I bought off an engineer who built it. 650KG with 160 bhp 2.0 Pinto. Anyway it had Ford Sierra rear calipers on it. What I did not realise at the time that they were mounted on the car upside down, who would have thought. I know I should've noticed the bleed nipple being at bottom but hey. I cannot tell you how much fluid I pumped through the damn things before I realised, cost me a fortune. Bought bleeding kit as I could not ask my mate to pump the pedal again, etc...... This was over 3 different attempts over 3 different days, so I spent a few hours on this. In the end once I realised, I had to unbolt the calipers, turn upside down, then bleed and bolt back on.

Not helpful I know but you cannot do any worse than this. I thought I share anyway.

So true I think u start from the wheel that's is closest to the master cylinder.

A mechanic once told me you shouldn't need to bleed your brakes 🤔 I use a different guy now

Lol sounds like a wise move.

i though you start from the brake far from the master cylinder. not start from the nearest to the master cylinder.

If you don't bleed the fronts first you run the risk of trying to bleed a bubble from front to rear which uses more fluid and is fine if you are doing a flush but for taht reason I always do fronts first
