Bleeding brakes question. How do you know when it's flushed?

Maintenance/Repairs
21

Open bleeder, press pedal down almost to floor, close bleeder. Take foot off of brake pedal and let it rise. Repeat. Move on to next wheel.

Ok, so this HAS to be a 2 man job.
Just to be 100% clear, this is how it will go…

Open bleeder.
Press pedal down almost to floor (fluid comes out)
Close bleeder.
Take foot off of brake pedal and let it rise.

RE-Open bleeder.
Press pedal down almost to floor (fluid comes out)
Close bleeder.
Take foot off of brake pedal and let it rise.

RE-Open bleeder.
Press pedal down almost to floor (fluid comes out)
Close bleeder.
Take foot off of brake pedal and let it rise.

When you see new fluid come out:
Close bleeder.
Take foot off of brake pedal and let it rise.

Move to next wheel.
Right?

The sequence is right rear, then left front, then left rear, then right front.

I always thought the sequence is from the furthest to the closest no matter what (ie the rears 1st).

That’s according to my manual. Yours may be different-haven’t looked at them all, but never seen the sequence of doing the rears first and then the fronts. I believe with the dual master cyl, they are crossed, not half for front and half for rear. That way you always have half a braking system if one fails.
