Longest run to shortest is correct, with the handbrake released to =
minimise the cavity in the wheel cylinders. I've always used an =
EeziBled - at no more than 15psi - to initially fill and bleed both =
clutch and brake systems, but that has always left the brake pedal long =
and soft. It pumps up with a couple of quick strokes, then after a =
couple of seconds goes long and soft again - i.e. still some air in. =
The second step is for someone to press down very hard on the pedal, =
then I rapidly open and close a caliper nipple, first one side then the =
other. That always blasts more air out and after that it is fine. The =
front of the car needs to be slightly higher than the rear.
But if just replacing fluid on an otherwise working system then an =
EeziBleed and opening each nipple in turn until the fluid runs clear =
should be all that is needed.

I am new to MGs but not British cars. I have read posts that seem to =

proceedure? I would start with cyl farthest away and work my way to the =
front.
