Bleeding brakes
I was glancing in a friend's 4th gen Hayne's manual (93-01 actually) and in the section on bleeding brakes I was surprised at the order the manual said to do them in. I always started fartherest away from the master cylinder and moved closer to it (RR, LR, RF, LF). But the Hayne's said begin on the right rear, then left front, left rear, and end with the right front.
Why did the Hayne's go against what I've always heard?

I did mine a while back and I was doing them in order from furthest away from master cylinder, but then I realized that I should be doing it furthest from the ABS pump which is behind the passenger side headlight. So it would be LR RR LF RF if you have ABS ,I believe.

Ok, how about if you don't have abs, then what would you have done?

bleed brake
rr to lf and lr to rf is diagonal split. The brake line are connected diagonally.
rr to lr and rf to lf is dual split.
The brake lines are connected to each other horizontally.
I forgot whick one we have for our max.

i had to do this recently on my Max (ABS equipped)...the bleeding order suggested in the Chilton was rear left, front right, rear right, front left...ONLY for ABS.
The manual had a different section for bleeding an ABS equipped maxima and non ABS maxima...
for non-ABS...it didnt show no particular sequence.
