Question Brake Bleeding Bleeder DIY

Seen several DIY threads and I agree the bleeding must start from the furthest point of the master cylinder.

However, this manual states other wise.... (please see attached PDF)

Just want to verify, bleeding is conducted in the following manner for brakes:

Passenger Rear, Driver Rear, Passenger Front, Driver Front.

Thank you for any input and hope everyone is doing well.

When you use a vac bleeder doing it like the pdf is better. It basically keeps you from pulling the bubbles out through the whole system. Especially if you have changed the master cylinder.

Personally I usually do a complete fluid change so it really doesn't matter so much when you are pushing or pulling that much fluid through the system

I like pressure bleeders better though...I just find them easier
