The bleeder nipples are located on the back side of the wheel cylinders (rear) and the calipers (front).

Is there something that I am missing or omitted from the bleeding process?
this is for all you dumb asses in these. stupid *** forums, that you can never get answered correctly. And I only say this cuz we just went through it, you must make sure the bleeder valve is at the top of the caliper it cannot be on the bottom or else it will not bleed.

And you just had to resurrect a 15 year old thread to post this? You do realize, that there are a number of threads, some as recent as the last couple months, where just this topic was covered, and for the same reason......
