Left/Right Brake Caliper Confusion
I lost track of which is which. It's a 72 GMC K2500 (Dana 44). I guess to boil it down my question is Should the bleeders be pointed up or down. Here's a pic of how I installed them. (pointing down) Is this correct or backwards? I hope it's clear enough to see them. Thanks!

bleeder up on everything I've ever used. that way the air can escape from the top where it will be. Use a soft mallet to tap the caliper too before you crack the bleeder to knock any tiny air bubbles clinging to the inside off.

Yep. Always up. Never get all the air out otherwise. It will be trapper above the fluid inside the caliper. "Been there, changed that".
