Believe it's RR, LR, RF, LF but I don't have it in front of me to verify. Sorry

I learned this the hard way after replacing a rusted out line to the back. It never dawned on me, as I read through all the threads and reviewed ISTA/D on procedures until I broke down and took it to the dealer. It may be self evident but I didn't think of it in trying to do this single handed. I asked the dealer and they have 2 people bleeding the brakes. IIRC, one pumping the brakes while the ABS is engaged via ISTA and one cracking the bleeder screw open.


I bought a pressure bleeder thinking that I would be able to do this by myself AND while activating ABS. No such luck. I had the steps right, starting at the right rear wheel, but it is a 2 man job.
