Calipers on the wrong side

[The Mofo]

Hi all,

I've just taken my Calipers off to get them refurbished and I've noticed the bleed nipples are on the top which makes me think that they've been swapped over. Is it easier to bleed them if the nipple is on the top? Forcing any air to be forced upwards by the fluid? I don't think it's doing them any harm like that but I'm just wondering why someone would do it?

Thanks

Phil

They haven't been swapped over - all bleed nipples are on the top.

Perfectly normal, think about what happens to air in a liquid.

As said.

Your bleeding air, not fluid.
Air will rise in the fluid, so the bleed nipple needs to be at the top.

always bleed the inner nipple first too
