Bleeding Sequence on a Samurai 1991

Hello People,

my haynes manual is telling me to start the bleeding with the left rear wheel, this seems wrong to me. I'm thinking I should start nearest the master cylinder, which would be the drivers front, the shortest distance, then the passenger front, then the drivers rear and then passenger rear.
Starting at the back seems to me like I would lock air into the system instead of psuhing it out.
So before I start and make a horlicks of it, could anyone confirm the correct sequence?.
(Drivers Front, Passenger Front, Drivers Rear, Passenger Rear,)
Thanks for any help, Laurence

I would tend to go by the Haynes manual rather than ones own guess work,of course they could have it all wrong but gut feeling tells me they are right.

It is definitely furthest away first
Otherwise you could bleed one and the end up with air back in it from the other ones... Pass rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front

I do it farthest first, and so far it's worked ok.

Got a Gunton ezbleed kit though, so it's super easy.

Preferably through the nipples if they still move!

Thanks for all of the replies, everyone has agreed with Haynes and everyone has agreed to start from the corner furthest away from the master. I must have been holding on to an old memory that was clearly wrong, I'm going to blame my dad!. Thanks again.
