You crack each corner separately. Start at the furthest calliper from the master cylinder (NSR) then OSR, NSF and finally OSF.
before you start bleeding with the pressure bleeder,remove as much fluid as you can from the master cylinder with a syringe or turkey baster and top back up with new fluid so as you don't need to push a reservoir full of old fluid through. Ours is an XC so is high enough of the ground at the front to get to the bleed nipples with out jacking up or removing the front wheels but obviously its easier with the wheels off. |

So will this help with the brakes going solid and hardly working?

That sounds more like a servo issue to me.

The reference to the "Front" handbrake makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I have just changed the fluid on our XC70 and there is definitely only one nipple per calliper. |

But the route is different to what you describe, I have just checked Vida and they confirm what Haynes says, so are you sure you've been doing it correctly? see image from Vida.....

Looks like I done them the wrong way round. I don't expect it matters in my case as I was changing the fluid as opposed to bleeding air out of the system.
However, point noted thank you. |
