Cobra Caliper Install Question

[SRT Handz]

I installed my calipers YEARS ago but have a questions since my buddy installed his different.

When a car is equipped with Cobra calipers in the front, are the bleeder screws on the calipers supposed to be at the top, or at the bottom?

Hopefully someone responds before my buddy leaves my pad because i have $20 riding on this....

most bleeder screws (honda,acura,gm,dodge, etc) are on the top

On top.... Installing it downward creates an air pocket inside you can't bleed out. This is a basic Handz........

So... I think I should check out which way I put mine. They weren't labeled so I put them on whichever way I thought it should go... which may have been with the bleed screw down...

Yea bleeder useually goes on the top for the air pocket getting trapped, BUT ford is classic for using the same part number on their trucks, Super Duty P/U are like this, left caliper on the back right caliper on the front (you get the picture) so just make sure you look and do ONE at a time and just take your time. Brakes are something that should be done with attnetion do detail.
