flushing brakes and clutch.

So im going to change my CDV and flush the brakes. Im a little confused since they share a reservoir, Where should I start bleeding? I assume start with the rear right caliper then work my way to the clutch or should I start with the clutch?

Do not try and bleed the clutch without a Motive Power Bleeder, it will not bleed easily any other way. You can not "pull" fluid through the slave cylinder; you can only push it though from pressure built up by a power bleeder. You can't bleed the clutch by pumping the clutch pedal. Trust me on this; get a power bleeder.

Do the brakes first: right rear, left rear, right front, left front, then the clutch.
