Especially on a single circuit system.

The phrase "tothefloor" takes on a whole different meaning when talking about brakes. Just sayin'.

 Well I guess I plug them right with left front before right front. Even after I asked a question. So since I had the stroke have a hard time figuring some of the stuff out. But I did go left front before right front No wonder takes me twice as long to get stuff done

I wouldn't sweat it, but if you do bleed them again, bleed the RF last, as that's the one which has the shortest length of brake line.

@&$.  I was driving the other night and the brakes went to the floor. Well I guess I had brakes the last quarter inch of travel. Came home and looked in the brake cylinder and it was halfway down. I know the brake fluid shouldn’t go anywhere but it had been about 3 to 5 years since I checked it.  I bled the brakes once went for a drive everything seemed fine. So I blead them again. Now I look at the car and realize that I blesses  the left front before I bled the right front I think both times. I’m going out for a drive right now and I’m wondering if I need to bleed the system again or if I can just bleadp
d the front half or just leave it alone because I have  top of the travel brakes??  

Funny stuff ... mine is stuck to the side of my toolbox as well.

When bleeding my 2013 Ford Focus, gravity took over on the front calipers also. The rears required some leg work.

I used a cheapie version of that - mine doesn't have the check valve. I did like the magnet idea though. I stuck it to the jack stand just below the bleeder level and watched it as it gravity bled. Mine was small enough that I'd have to empty it before I'd drain the maser cylinder too low. It is stuck to the side of the toolbox now. The magnet is also handy for storing it.

Sorta on topic. I recently picked up an "Allstar Performance ALL11017 Bleeder Bottle with Magnet and Check Valve" from Amazon. This thing is great for one person brake bleeding. The secret is the one way fluid check valve built into the outgoing fluid line. Anyhow hook this up to the bleed nipple, crack the bleeder, pump the pedal a few times and done. Just make sure to not let the master cylinder run dry.

Good point Howard i really had not thought of the line lengths just going by LH or RH drive.
As you pointed out the only difference is the length of the line from the master to the 3 way so wouldn't that come into play as the fluid/pressure has farther ( although only 3 feet or so ) to travel on a LHD car compared to a RHD car? If the length of the line did not matter you could bleed whichever wheel you wanted in whatever order you wanted.

I would bleed a RHD car LR, RR, LF, RF.
I would bleed a LHD car RR, LR, RF, LF.

Also the diagonal split braking systems are a different beast as you bleed them totally different to the norm.

To add some confusion i just found a reference in Haynes 69 through 93.

Single circuit brakes: RHD car LF, RF, LR, RR.     LHD car RF, LF, LR, RR.

Early dual circuit system: RHD car RR, LR, LF, RF.     LHD car LR, RR, RF, LF.

Diagonal split dual circuit system with inbuilt pressure differential warning actuator: RHD car RR, LF, LR, RF.    LHD car LR, RF, RR, LF.

Front to rear split dual circuit system with inbuilt pressure differential warning actuator: RHD car LR, RR' LF, RF. LHD car same as RHD car.

According to that myself and you Howard and a lot of other Mini owners for that matter have been doing it wrong all these years LOL. On regular systems i have always bled from the farthest point away from the master cylinder first whether LHD or RHD with no issues.
Some cars bleed easily others i have had to crack every connection loose but from the front to the rear if there is some stubborn air in the system.

Don't shoot me i am only the messenger.

Yes, LHD and RHD are the same and are as indicated starting with the LR.

I concur with Howard's analysis. I think the real question is how many times before all the air is out. I imagine the answer is "one more time".

Malcolm ... The sequence that I indicated is based upon the length of brake line from the master cylinder to the wheels on a single line LHD car. I do not understand why that would change between LHD and RHD since the routing past the 3-way connector is the same for both. The only thing that changes between the two is the RHD car has a shorter brake line between the master and the 3-way. Please help me understand your statement.

Scargo's post is for a RHD car.

Furthest to nearest : LR, RR, LF, RF.

Depends whether L or RHD..

Start furthest from master col.  For LHD; right rear, left rear, right front, left front.
