Hmm... not doubting what a more experienced mech. has to say. But As I was taught to start at the longest brake line and move to the next shortest etc. I bled by flhtcu/tle just the opposite. Car first, then the rear.

I agree, start at the caliper the furthest away from the master.

thanks everybody! I used an entire bottle of fluid to bleed my brake lines on all three brakes. the rear and hack to the most. if anything goes wrong it is my own mechanical error. If anything seriously goes wrong I will always be prepared due to being a CDL driver expecting the worst situation.
