The front 1LE calipers will have a M10 x 1.0 thread, you can use Earl's -22, -40, or -41 as they all will work, the rears I am unsure of.

thanks, also does it matter which hole the bleeder oes into as it fits into both holes. i understand the bleeder has to be on the top when it is mounted. currently my cALIpers are off the car and i dont know if thay are side specific or not. thanks

They go where the old ones came out of....he he

The lower hole is for the banjo bolt and is a straight through, you have to look through the opening to tell. The bleeder screw will have a tapered seat on the bottom of the hole.

Your rear calipers are interchangeable but the bleeder holes should be obvious.
