'98 LS400. I am changing brake fluid and have a "Power Bleeder." As I drain and replace my brake fluid, I believe I start bleeding at the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder, i.e., right rear. Then I go to left rear and then I go to right front and end up at the left front. Is this correct?

 

You are correct!

 

I'e follow that pattern for years but recent have decided it doesn't matter at all for a bleed job. In that you're just pulling down a little fluid. The only logic I can see in it at all is for a flush. Then flushing the longer lines till clear first might save you a little fluid but, for what brake fluid costs, so what.

I wish someone would explain to me why, for modern cars, we think that order is important. I bet it goes back ancient brake system design.
