Can anyone advise when bleeding FE brakes, is the VH 44 booster bled before or after the wheel cylinders?
I know to start at the left rear cylinder as per the manual but not sure about the booster. Was told it doesn't really matter but would like to be sure.

Thanks, Ken

You should bleed the booster first, then the LR, RR, LF and RF wheel cylinders. You can bleed the booster later, but There may be some residual air in the lines resulting in you needing to bleed a wheel cylinder again to clear it.
