I would imagine this has been a topic several times but here we go again. Tomorrow I plan on filling and bleeding the hydraulic system on the Bugeye. I'm using standard breaks and master cylinder. Should I bleed the Clutch first or the breaks?
 
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but here I go anyway....

It shouldn't matter. They share the reservoir, but the circuits are independent. What does matter is the order of the brake bleeding. Always the furthest first, i.e. right rear, and the nearest last, i.e. left front.
 
Uh, the left rear is actually the farthest if you go by the length of the pipes and the right front is the shortest run.
It is not the distance from the master as the crow flys but the length of the pipes from the master.
 
What he said. Thanx Frank
 
Right rear, left rear, left front, right front.
