Oops . Perhaps I should read my reply before sending it. The answer sought by the ASE on the correct procedure for bleeding brakes is: RR, LR. RF, LF. It's the "farthest away" rule that Leathermang pointed out above. The truth of the matter is that any sequence that clears the lines of old fluid and air bubbles seems to get the job done.
I prefer the vaccuum brake bleeding tool since it allows the mechanic to work alone without a "pump and hold" assistant. Powewr bleeders are great until the first time one pops loose and sprays fluid on the paint job.
