Thats what i've always done but a few people have told me now you start from the closest.

Just wondering what the logic in that way would be and if it is correct.

Ford Workshop manual says to start from the furthest.

Also notes to NOT touch the brake pedal icon_smile.gif

Well are you going to suck the air out?

Now brake fluid certainly ain't beer!
