as above - start with the wheel furthest from the m/c and work in towards the wheel nearest

 

ie. osr - nsr - nsf - osf

 

if you haven't already got one, try an Easibleed - they make the job a doddle (snapped bleed nipples aside).

Depending on what sort you buy (is Easibleed a trademark?) as I bought a halfords one and it is the biggest pile of crap ever. Doing it with two people was so much easier.
