i think that is a procedure (full bleed) when bleeding ifrom a fresh start, like changing a master cyl,

when only one half of the brake system is breached, thought that meant at most, 2 wheels having to be bled, or any wheel associated with the affected side of the master

dunno if it's diff these days but i'll start lf then rr

i was surprised to have been able to unscrew the steel brake line at the flexhose (that then goes to the abs unit), as well as the bleeder at the caliper, the abs brake line looked original

lotsa penetrant and a propane torch were enuff though the screw/nut is still seized to the steel brakeline, ended up getting it off by turning or using the flexhose to unscrew that connection
