If you don't follow the correct bleeding sequence, you won't get all of the air out of the hydraulic system on the first run through. On older vehicles, the bleeding sequence was standard. You would start at the right rear of the vehicle and work your way forward to bleed the brakes (Right Rear, Left Rear, Right Front, Left Front).

Today, we recommend that you always look up the proper bleeding sequence. The bleeding sequence is often different on many of today's vehicles. You can find this in a brake specifications guide or a vehicle's service manual.

If you do bleed the wheels in the wrong sequence, it will take you multiple cycles on each wheel to get all of the air out. Bleeding in the correct sequence will ensure you get the air out on the first try, saving you time.
