dumb bleeding question.
I just threw in my moser rear and replaced the rear line. Now when I bleed it do i have to bleed the fronts too?
Also I should do the RR first then LR right?
Just making sure last time i bleed brakes I had to do them all because i changed everything (damn fords)

Re: dumb bleeding question.
If you break a brake line anywhere in your system it is always a good idea to blead everything. It really doesn't matter on the which side you bleed 1st as far as left or right. A good rule of thumb is always start with the farthest point away and bleed to the closest. So, yes do the backs 1st then the fronts.

Re: dumb bleeding question.
On a system with dual master cylinder reservoirs, the front and rear systems are separated for safety, thus if one fails, you have the other system intact.
IBMtech is right on, start with the furthest and work to the brake nearest the master cylinder. Technically, you should not have to re-bleed the fronts, but I would very much encourage you to do it anyway, because the seals in the master cylinder are VERY close together, you might have pushed some air into the front system. Better safe than
