Rear Brake Calipers

I did several searches, but did not find anything.

I just rebuild my stock calipers and installed them today. In the cleaning process, I am not 100% sure what caliper goes on what side - dumb move on my part.

Looking at pictures in Wayne's 101 projects book, the bleeder screw is on the top when the caliper is mounted. However, the old hard brake line on my car puts the bleeder on the bottom.

So - what is the correct position for the bleeder screw?? Top or bottom??

Thanks.

Hi Charlie:

Calipers must always be installed with the bleeders positioned at the top.
