In what sequence do you bleed the brakes on a 1988 Toyota 4runner? Is RR,LR,RF.LF correct and where does the proportioning valve and master cylinder fit into this sequence? Also, how do you bleed the master cylinder? Thanks

Easiest way to bleed the master cylinder is to bench bleed it. several good videos out there

order: left front, r front, LSPV, LR, RR. Is the sequence I have used.

huh....i'd learned to always start at the longest stretch of line. iow's, pass. rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front and then do the valve. but, heck...whatever gets the job done

and, yeah...bench bleed the mc, for sure

I always bleed RR LR RF LF and that gives me good brakes.

I tried once to bleed a LSPV that turned very expensive till I was finished never again.

If I lived where it never snowed and far from the Ocean it would be a different story

I might have tried the Bench bleeding of a Master Cylinder a very long time ago .

Since more often then not I am alone Bleeding a Master Cylinder means removing it from the vehicle .

Other then lubricating the bore and piston because installing it unless you keep the ports plugged and the reservoir filled it will with air again

I always use some sort of brake bleeder either the vacuum type or power bleeder maybe that makes a difference
