My right rear wheel cylinder was leaking badly so I replaced it. Is there a particular order to bleeding the brakes on the car? I'm determined to get to the rear noise problem, but stopping safely seemed a bit more important.

Thanks

I'm sure you've heard it before, but a Motive power bleeder is the only way to fly. I can't believe how much time I used to waste doing it the old way and I still had mushy brakes. They're only like $55 on Amazon with free shipping.

I actually made a cheap version with a spare brake reservoir cap and a hose attached that I could blow air into from a compressor (10-15 psi max), but you need two people to do it that way.

Start with the wheel that's farthest away from the master cylinder then work your way to the closest one.

Thanks to all who posted. I really should have remembered this stuff, but it's been forever and a day since the last time I had to bleed brakes. The car is back up and running..... and stopping.... again. On to the next quirk!
