furthest away first
right rear

The manual probably says: RR, LR, RF, LF or RR, LF, LR, RF. But like Will and Sackdeeznutz said, it doesn't really matter.

According to the current manual they want you to start at the left front and work your way around clockwise. But I have seen an earlier manual where starting at the right rear was the way to go. it doesn't really matter where you start, but I wonder why Helms changed the order.

LOL...ok now I'm getting flamed. I thought that is was supposed to be in this order. (This is what worked also).
1 = Rear Driver's Side
2 = Front Pass Side
3 = Rear Pass Side
4 = Front Driver's Side
I wasn't trying to knock on anyone, really

I personally like to start at the master cylinder

Has anyone used the old "gravity bleed" method? Does it work well? And who all has speed bleeders? Are they truely one man.

Listen, there is somewhat a meaning to the madness of what order to bleed the brakes(cross-bleeding, starting furthest away, working clockwise around, etc.), BUT in reality it really does not matter that much(this is also why many different manuals say different things about the same car). I know many many honda techs that work at a few different dealership shops and when it is necessary for them to bleed the brakes, they usually do not follow a set pattern because they know that it really does not matter. This is true, but if you follow a pattern, which I try to most of the time, then that is fine too because again it really doesnt matter. Just figured I shed a bit of light on this subject, just do what makes you feel best, or what may happen to make your brakes feel the best(if it happens to work better for them one way or the other, which could happen, but not usually), enjoy.

I always went longest to shortest....
Are the ITR brakes on a "fail-safe" crossed line? (LF and RR on same line)? If so, then the those brakes should be bled together longest to shortest.
