the calipers have 2 bleeder holes in them .i plan to use 2 speed bleeders and 2 reg bleeders (as plugs), should the speed bleeders go on the top or the bottom

Full Version: brake caliper re-install
top. bleeds always on top.... where the air goes 
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.
