are you just now installing the disc brakes, or is this a brake job on an existing disc brake setup?

1. Prop valve question only valid if this is a new setup

2. are the bleeder screws on the TOP of each caliper? IF you have the calipers on the wrong side the bleeders will be kind of pointing down, instead of up. If this is the case you will never get the air out of the calipers.
