SE Brake Bleed Order

Postby Okibi » Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:01 pm

Does anyone know the order in which you bleed the brakes on an SE (ABS)?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Rear Passenger
Rear Driver
Front Driver
Front Passenger

Ignition shoud be switched to on and ideally done with a vacuum pump but the old fashion system works OK too. Order is longest lines to shortest lines.
