Bleeders are high, plugs are low.

If you are putting the two halves together, the brake line input will be on the piece that has the mounting tabs. It goes toward the rear of the car on the inside of the rotor. The plug will be on the outside of the rotor to the rear of the car. Bothe bleeder screws will be in the holes toward the front of the car. When mounted on the car the bleeders will be higher than the plug and brake line input.
