Where do you start bleeding when your master cylinder has bleeder fittings?Master cylinder first or rear wheels first?

Definitely master cylinder first. Bench bleed the master cylinder then start with the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder and work your way until you do the drivers side front last.

If you changed the master, you should have bled the master on the bench first before installation, then in order, Right Rear, Left Rear, Right Front, Left Front.
