Default ? about changing/bleeding brake system

To change or bleed the brake fluid aren't you supposed to start at the caliper that is the furthest away from the brake fluid reservoir?
Thanks,
Mario

in previous hondas...yes, but for some reason on the s2000 you start at the caliper closest.

This was very wierd for me as well. But the guys are correct. Start with the closest.

Docofmind,
Your joking about having the car running right?

Vapors2k,
If you start at the left front then the left rear should be done before the right rear?

Why is the bleeding done backwards on this car? Does anybody know?

Thanks,
Mario
