Default Bad calipers?

I pulled both my calipers off to replace them. Now I don't remember what caliper is left and right. Is the bleeder bolt on the top of the caliper or bottom. And I don't understand how to install the caliper spring thing. The holes it should go into is taken up by the outer pad clips. Anybody help plz??

Top. That way the air can exit.

It also clips into those same holes; there's a good picture in the factory service manual.

What year is your truck? There may be some variants in the exact clip and picture.

Also, for 1988, 2WD and 4WD clips are different.

Ok It's a 1992 dakota 4wd. I'll just have to try a lil harder to get the spring in then. And I'll see if I can find the device manual online so I can view the picture. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP and QUICK RESPONSE
