Two quick questions:
a) What psi pressure do people use for brake bleeding using the Motive Power Bleeder (BTW, thanks Paul!)
b) What is the correct order for bleeding the brakes? (I'm assuming with the brake fluid reservoir on the left hand side of the car, the correct sequence is right rear, left rear, right front, left front.)
Thanks,

Yea 15psi is what we usually use. Right now the bleeder gasket is shot, so i can only set it to 5psi or it leaks....but it still bleeds.

How do you get at the second bleeder? Sounds like you have to take the wheel off to get at it...
