What's the order on bleeding your brakes? I heard furthest from the master brake cylinder. Is that true?

Thanks,

Honda recommends (contrary to conventional wisdom) that you start at the closest wheel (drivers front) and work clockwise from there.

so that would be front drivers, then front passengers, rear passenger, and rear driver...

Any idea why? I've been doing this clockwise bleeding procedure for the car, but I've asked Honda techs and they all say "furthest to closest." Yikes!

Yep.

I have no idea why they recommend that order for the bleeding but it's clearly marked that way in my service manual (I just double checked).

If the brake system are setup up the same as an EG/EJ2 then the fronts and the rears are on different "systems" so to say. Fronts are one system and rears are another. Don't ask me why they did this but that is how my EJ2 is setup.

Even if the car has different front / rear systems, wouldn't it make sense to start bleeding from the passenger side of the car?

Why?

The manual says LF> RF>RR> LR. What is the point of dispute? Honda knows what it is doing - maybe they found conventional wisdom did not jibe with how and where trapped air tends to accumulate in this car.
