I am in the process of replacing all the brake lines on my 93 lesabre. I was wondering if anyone knew the proper sequence for bleeding the brakes , i know you have to start with a certian tire but i dont know what it is lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Effectively, you start with the connection farthest from the master cylinder. You'll want to hit all connections a day or two ahead of time with a penetrating oil.

yeah heh by the time i got done i ended up replacing every single brakeline in the car including one of the flex hoses in the back , and both wheel cylinders as the bleeders broke off both of em . After alot of money spent and more than a few smashed knuckles im still convinced that once i finish the job completely i will still have spent way less than it would have cost me to have it done at a garage considering that they would have ended up doing as much as i had to do and it would have taken them twice to three times as long as originally estimated
