Car Brakes Question-- Help?

Just got back to this. Had to go out of town for a couple days. That sequence makes no sense to me. I wonder why the L. Front which should be closest to the master would be second in line?

On Saturns & most front wheel drive vehicles the chambers in the master cylinder control left front brake & right rear brake & so on, so if you loose one of the chambers, you still have one front brake & one rear brake working. Unlike older cars & most rear wheel drive vehicles, which each m/c chamber controls front brakes & rear brakes. There for you have to bleed the brakes in the proper sequence in order to get the air out. I did double check on the bleed sequence for the '95 Saturn sc2 on Mitchell repair site. And it is RR, LF, LR, RF. I have seen many tech's get stumped when bleeding brakes after replacing hydrolic parts in the brake system with low pedal or can't get the air out until the proper bleed sequence is performed. Not saying there is not another problem, but I would try this 1st.

Thanks very much for this. I'll try it tonight and let you know. Definitely worth a shot. Daughter is getting more humble with all the walking though.

Didn't she become more humble when you broke her arm?
