Brake bleeding sequence
The car is a 2000 Civic Ex with Si rear disc brake conversion.
Until today, I always followed the "start on the farthest wheel from MC and work your way to it" bleeding procedure. Thus, my sequence used to be:
Right Rear -> Left Rear -> Right Front -> Left Front
However, I was told today by a pretty reputable source that that is not the correct procedure, and the right sequence is:
Right Rear -> Left Front -> Left Rear -> Right Front
Could someone confirm this for me?
Thanks.

Re: Brake bleeding sequence (CiRcUiTsi)
the whole point in doing it the first way is because you want to bleed the longest line first and go from longest to shortest.....would be a waist to start with a short line when a long *** line has a ton of air in it

that's what the helms manual tells you to do it: right rear, left front, left rear, and right front. kinda weird but that's honda.

Re: Brake bleeding sequence (dynamo)
you dont always start with the longest line first. i know for a fact that you bleed the left front on a crv first. but thats a crv and u get my point. do what the book tells you to do. helms is a damn good source to get all this info. go with the book.

Wow. Anyways, rear drums are brakes just like rear disks which require brake lines. The e-brake is cable operated and uses no fluid whatsoever.
