There was some conflicting information about bleeding wheel sequence. Many
start at the left rear, then right rear, left front, right front. There
was, in the archive, a Triumph service note that stated this was the
correct sequence for cars with drum brakes on the front. It also stated
that cars with discs on the front should be bled starting with the front
left wheel, but made no mention of the subsequent sequence. I cannot work
out why there would be a change in sequence with discs.
I am not the best mechanic, but can hold my own. All my life (and it is
getting longer every day) I have bled brakes on the principal that you bleed
the
longest run of brake line first and move toward the shortest. On a TR 3 - 4
that would be left rear, right rear, left front, right front, as the
junction of brake lines is on the right side of the car. On a TR6 that would
be
right rear, left rear, right front, left front. I don't know why the type of
brakes would make a difference. I am also aware that some think sequence does
not matter.
