Questioning the wisdom. Brake bleeding and hose swap
I swapped out my brake setup to Brembos from a performance pack model.
Obviously the brake system needed to be bled. All advice on the forum concerning a brake bleed sequence, at least from what I read, points to furthest to closest from the master cylinder. Looking however through the Subaru workshop manual for the BRZ the sequence is the opposite - it starts at the wheel closest to the master cylinder. What gives? Another snippet I have from Subaru is a TSB to apply brake friendly grease along the thread of the brake hose banjo bolt that screws into the caliper. Note this TSB applies to Brembo calipers only. I have never heard of this practice before. The torque value for the bolt does not vary. I assume this provides a better seal. I followed it - but thought it was odd. |

same as torqueing lug nuts clock-wise, or counter-clockwise.
the difference is just a difference. i always do the furthest first specifically because it'll take the most fluid, and is usually the hardest. i like to leave the easier side to last so i can relax once i'm finishing up, instead of working myself up right before finishing.

I always figured the bleed sequence was good to follow. |

I do closest to farthest. To me, bleeding farthest first is like washing your car from the bottom up

The Toyota service manual says "Bleed the brake line of the wheel farthest from the master cylinder first." under brake fluid replacement.

You're also supposed to bleed the inside pistons of the Brembo Caliper before the outside pistons. This goes a little bit against the "furthest away" rule of thumb, but the order as far as corners of the car remains the same

I wonder how much variance there is between the different services manuals (Toyota/Subaru and different markets). |
