Caliper Orientation
 
Long story short, I decide to replace the front and rear calipers on my 87 911. Unwittingly, I installed the new front calipers so the bleeder screws were faced down not up. Bad mistake. After numerous attempts to bleed the brakes- no success.NO BRAKE PRESSURE. Consulted several several experienced brake experts, No success until I saw a post on this site. I simply switched the front calipers. Re-bled the brakes. Almost immediately, I found I had full brake pressure.

Thanks to all of you who post their experiences here.

Umm, that might be me you are talking about.

Yes, they certainly bleed better when they are the right way up.
