Todd - I hope you're right that it does not matter what order you bleed the brakes. My dad and I replaced the rotors and pads, installed speed bleeders and replaced the brake fluid today. Since it was Easter and we had someplace to go this afternoon, we just bled each wheel when we replaced the rotors and pads in order to save time. I really wasn't worried that there was any air in the system, I just wanted to replace the fluid. (My dad thinks that's a waste of time too but he was nice enough to help me out anyway.)

My question is this: with new pads and rotors, should I get a nice firm pedal right away or does it take time for the pads to bed-in? I drove around following the "bedding in" procedures that I have seen on this site and pedal feel is getting better but it's not as good as before I started.

Of course, I can always turn off the engine and without power assist, the pedal feels real hard.
