Bleeding Brake Q's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Basic stuff for some, but I have had to replace the brake lines across the rear axle and I am wanting to make sure I got this right.

Is the order... Right Rear, Left front, Left rear and then Right front?

On each bleed is the pedal supposed to be pumped a few times and held down to the floor? Then a quick turn of the bleeder valve on a sec then closed?

Also, this seems wrong but Ive heard from some that for power brakes to actually have the engine running?
