Default Bleeding my brakes and ABS system

Ok so i'v read all the faq's about bleeding my brakes and ABS system. I have a 94 LS and I will attempt to purge my abs systeam along with my brakes, being that this will be my first time doing so, should I be aware of anything? Any tips or advice would be great. Oh and another thing, ive read in my repair manual that when i bleed my brakes, i should do it in this order: RR, LF, LR, RF. Can anyone vouch on this beacuse it was not covered in the FAQ's.

Thanks in advance....

That is the correct order to bleed the brakes...

The order is correct. The ABS is bled separately of the main brake system. Which manual do you have?

I have the cheapo haynes manual i bought from auto zone. The only thing that sucks about this manual is that it doesnt show me a picture of the hydraulic modulator i need to bleed seperately from the brakes...

There is a bleeder on top of the ABS modul;ator under the hood. Place a piece of tubing on the end before opening the bleeder. You basically open it to bleed the pressure, close it, turn the ignition on, allow the ABS pump to prime, turn the ignition off, bleed again, check fluid, repeat.

After, I believe it should be the last thing done.
