Brake Caliper Installation Tip - Bleeder Position

When you're installing a brake caliper it is important to make sure that where the brake bleeader hole intersects the piston cylinder is at the highest point so air doesn't get trapped. Some equate this with the bleeder itself being at the highest postion but this isn't always the case. The caliper in the forst pic below is installed incorrectly and will never bleed properly. Second pic shows it in the correct position.

Rod, have you asked for access to write to the wiki? These posts would really be perfect to start building that thing...
