Anyone who is saying RR first is wrong. The FSM states longest to shortest line, if you took a tape measure and measured the lines, you would see that it goes LR, RR, RF, LF, and LSPV. You do the LSPV last because it is the seconded highest component in the system and is connected to both the front and rear systems. I only use a bottle with a tube and some fluid in it to bleed my brakes, pressure bleeders work great, I am just to cheap to buy one. I have never been able to get a Vacuum bleeder to work right. That is why I stick to my tried and true method, a bottle and a tube. Stick the tube on the bleeder, crack the bleeder 1/2-3/4 turn, push the brake pedal three times, tighten the bleeder, check the line for bubbles. If the line has, bubbles repeat.
Correct bleeding procedure.



High dollar brake bleeder.
