Checked my brake fluid today, which I kinda neglected by accident over a few years. It’s pretty dark. So, it’s going to need to be bled out. I saw on YouTube that the SS has a specific bleed procedure where it’s driver rear, front passenger, rear passenger and then front driver. Is this the same case with the RS/LTs?

17 Camaro.

It's rear right -> rear left -> front right -> front left. The idea is to start bleeding with a caliper that is furthest from the brake reservoir


I stand corrected. After a few posters commented below, it is actually

rear right -> left front -> left rear -> right front.


I have been doing it RR -> RL -> FR -> FL the entire time over 3 brake bleeds, however, and I am still alive.

Thank you! Looks like I’ll need to remove the wheels, doesn’t look easy to get a wrench in there to open the bleeder.

Negative, guys. The bleeding/flushing order for a sixth-gen Camaro, per the official Factory Service Manual, is: right rear, left front, left rear, right front. It's the same for all brake options on these cars. And yes you most certainly have to remove the wheels.

This is the correct order. Point is to do one hydraulic circuit (RR and LF) before the other (LR and RF) while still doing the furthest from the master cylinder first. In reality it shouldn't really make a difference as long as all the old fluid is cycled out and no air is introduced into the system, but the order from the manual is the more robust order of bleeding.

Also, for your front calipers, you'll want to start on the inboard bleed valve before the outboard one if that wasn't mentioned in the video you saw.

I stand corrected, thank you. However, my "incorrect" way did not fail me a single time on track or street, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you! I didn’t see it in the manual unless I’m blind asf.
