Question: When bleeding air from a hydraulic braking system, what is the correct sequence of bleeding for a typical multi-axle heavy-duty truck?

Answer options: ✅ Start with the wheel cylinder furthest from the master cylinder and work towards the closest.

  • Start with the wheel cylinder closest to the master cylinder and work towards the furthest.
  • Bleed all front wheel cylinders first, then all rear wheel cylinders.
  • Bleed all brake calipers simultaneously.

Correct answer: Start with the wheel cylinder furthest from the master cylinder and work towards the closest.

Explanation: The standard procedure for bleeding hydraulic brake systems is to start at the wheel cylinder/caliper furthest from the master cylinder then progressively move to the closest. This ensures that air is pushed out effectively and not trapped in longer lines.
