top. bleeds always on top.... where the air goes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
the plate goes between the 2 bolts acting as a washer. |

Speeds on the top. Bottom bleeder is useless except to fill the lines and/or drain the calipers.
That plate is the lock plate for the caliper mounting bolts. Bolt, plate, ear on strut. Bend tap up against bolt when tightened. |

Bend tab, not tap. No tap to bend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
