DIY Brake Fluid Flush

Ive tried searching for this and couldnt find anything. I want to try the gravity flush as this is the least invasive. Does anyone know the order that i should start with? Any help would be very much appreciated!

it doesnt really matter. traditionally, people bleed farthest to closest (so pass. rear up to driver front) but it doesnt really matter that much since they are all separate lines anyways. just remember that its going to take a while to pump all of the old fluid (including the reservoir) through the lines, but once you get clean fluid on the first caliper the rest are just flushing the lines (which goes a lot quicker)

i use a vac hand pump from Griot's and replienish bottle from mityvac.
probably the best DIY system out there for the weekend carguy.

and no need for someone to pump the brakes is a real good thing.
