Start with the wheel farthest from the master, at the right rear, and work your way forward, being sure each bleed screw is closed when done. We place a tube on the bleed screws and the other end in a clear bottle to observe any air bubbles remaining as we bleed.
Excellent! Thanks for the guidance.
