bleeder screw direction
Guys, on the 1le front calipers, are the bleeder screws supposed to point up, or down?

Re: bleeder screw direction
I'll assume that means the screw needs to be up top.
What about the retaining pin? Top or bottom? Or does it matter?

Re: bleeder screw direction
Thanks for the pic James.
I flipped my caliper/carrier from drivers side to passenger side and vice versa, so the bleeder screw is on the top. But now my retaining pin is also on the top.
Is this a problem?
