Can anyone list "proper" procedure to brake bleed a Colorado

[TABLE="width: 100%"]
[TR]
[TD="colspan: 2"]Can anyone tell me the exact correct method / procedure for bleeding this system??
What order for the calipers?
When bleed the rear LCV? Is this the 1st point to bleed?
When to bleed the MC, is this the last thing to bleed?
Should the engine be running or not running during the bleeding? My Colorado has Abs, should abs car be bled with engine running?

Would be great help if someone could outline the proper procedure or order to bleed.

IMO, unless someone who really knows contradicts, I would bleed from the longest run from the master reservoir, in descending length order.

That would probably be the n/s rear first, the O/s rear, LCV (if it has a bleed nipple) then the front n/s and o/s.

Master cylinders rarely have a bleed point.

as Clive said start with the furthest away and work your way back, if you have ABS and can hear the pump motor run for a second when you turn the ignition. on, ,,, you can just leave the ignition on for the both rears -it's like having someone constantly pumping the brake pedal , of course keep an eye on your master level.
my rear brakes don't have a LCV
do the front as normal ignition off, manually pump pedal
