There is a procedure for specific models/years,but i can't remember it.I think it's two different ways for the relevent model/years.
Hopefully someone on here will know.
What year/model is your car?

order
o/s/r
n/s/r
n/s/f
o/s/f
now i know people are going to say that you start with the furthest away and that it is the n/s/r first, yes it is furthest in wheel to master cylinder, but the o/s/r wheel is longer in pipework
