be like it is
that diagram isn't to scale :lawl:

and it doesn't make sense because you always start with the longest line first. you do the shortest one on the car first, the front left, the pedal could be firm with no bubbles appearing by the time you do the right rear...even though there's still air in the system. try it out sometime--follow the diagram, then come back and do the front left once more.

i know you want to trust alldata above everything, but its simply not correct with how 99% of us will bleed the system.

I just want to chime in with what I know. There's a guy on youtube called eric the car guy and he explains it that you bleed closest in the chain first and work to the longest last. the reason being is that you want clean fluid at the closest point so that you are not flowing dirty fluid throughout the entire system. in any case 001stunna was right. the Honda manual even says exactly what he said. start at front left, then work clockwise and end at left rear
