I've always done it that way as well, but pretty sure JTIS says to go closest (LH Front) > furthest (RH rear). Not sure if it matters, but doing mine shortly and I was going to follow the manual.

@87LC2 , is that one of the bleeders that pressurizes the master cylinder so it pushes fluid through instead of pulling at the caliper with a vacuum? I've been thinking about getting one because I HATE bleeding brakes. Does it work well?

Thanks.

Yea, I bought the Motive Bleeder, people seem to like it. I haven't even had a chance to use mine yet, but plan to shortly. There are tons of videos on YT of guys using the Motive setup, seems pretty simple and I dont have to bother my wife anymore.
