Default Brake bleeding sequence

Sorry the search is unavailable.
Looking for the right sequence to do this correctly, or any other tips you lot might have to get it done.

I haven't replaced any parts, just want to flush through new fluid

I did OSF,NSF,NSR,OSR.

I've done it a few times with no problems!

There are plenty of guides about for the S! I've book marked a few on my laptop at home! I will post them up tonight if nobody else reply's!

E4rth Worm Jim is right. I helped to bleed coolchrisuk's brakes a couple of weeks ago and this was the most effective sequence.

I always go clockwise, so OSF, OSR, NSR, NSF.

I read it on here somewhere. Though the situation is somewhat confused by OS and NS meaning different things in the US, drivers side and passenger side meaning different things in the US, and the master cylinder being in a different place in the US.

i've always learnt to start from the furthest caliper from the master cylinder, and work to the closest.

so on RHD S's, it's NSR, OSR,NSF, OSF.

Yep, thats what I was taught as well, furthest caliper first, nearest last, but as long as any air is expelled and the pedal feels firm (with engine running) I dont suppose it matters greatly these days.

Honda Manual Says:

NSF, OSf, OSR, NSR.

Although if you are just flushing through fluid, it doesn't really matter.
