bleeding brakes

when the brakes need to be bleed, do you bleed the wheel closer to the master first or the wheel that is the farther from the master, also how much pressure is the brake fluid under ?

Bleeding is always farthest first. Souder's post would be correct.

Brake fluid is under virtually no pressure unless you press on them and then it is very high. Never open the bleeder when under pressure. It'll just spray all over and usually into your face. Only open it, THEN press the brake, hold it down, close the bleeder, let off the brake.
