How can you tell the front brake calipers apart - left vs Right?

Thanks for your assistance.

Bleeder goes on top.

If they have two bleeders, then they can go on either side.

Awesome!!! Thanks!! They have two bleeders and look exactly the same, I have been trying to find all the pics I could to figure out a difference.

Thanks Again!!!!

When you have two bleeders, then you have to look at the pistons to see which way the cutouts are oriented. They are on an angle, and the anti-rotation plate goes in the upper pin, so the cutouts are pointing up and forward.

When we build them we always position the bleeder with the deeper recess at the top.

More importantly, as Dave mentions, position the piston angle cutout toward the top. It needs to face into the oncoming rotor.
