Simple brake caliper question. Fronts.
Is the bleeder valve located at the top or bottom of the caliper? I just put a C5 front brake kit on my Z and I think I am azz-backwards.
Thanks. Also, can one get Speed bleeders at any parts store or is it an online order thing like Zaino?

You will probably have to order them on line. I tried the local auto parts stores and speed shops and none had the correct size in stock. The speed shops said that they could order them but it was just as quick to order them on line.

Sears sells a non-craftsman vacuum brake bleeder for $34, it works fine with standard bleeders, no fuss no mess. Extract 2-3 ounces on each brake, use turkey baster to suck out old fliud from master cylinder (not too low) and replace first. Then keep adding after bleeding.
