Brake bleeding..Right side and left side convention
I need to bleed the brakes on my 03 4X4 Hemi 1500.
The maintenance manual, talks about starting at certain sides of the truck to bleed the brakes.
Question.....if someone said forinstance, start to bleed the brakes at the right rear wheel.....is that the rear passenger wheel?
Start at the pass rear(RR), then go over to the driver rear(LR) then proceed to the pass front(RF) and over to the driver front(LF)
The rule is furthest line first, shortest last.

That makes sense Dirty.
You know, now you mention it........I remember from the dim and distant past (I'm 53 as of the other day and the memors not as it was lol) I seem to recall what you said about working from the rear the furthest away from the master cylinder.
Cheers bud.
Make sure you don't use that DOT2000 Synthetic Fire Orange colored LEFT HANDED brake fluid, when you push down on the pedal, it pulls the pads away from the rotors--------:0)!
