brake bleeding question

[Ej46]

What’s the right way to bleed a brake system? Should I bleed the master cylinder first than go to the back brakes than the front or should I do the master cylinder last after doing the back and front brakes.



Thanks for any help.

With a C3, jack the car up, support the rear on jack stands and remove the rear wheels.

Bleed the master cylinder first.

Then do RR-LR-RF-LF

The rear calipers have two bleeders per calipers the fronts have one bleeder per caliper.

During the time you have the bleed fitting open, tap the caliper casting a couple of times with a plastic hammer.
