Quick question - I'm putting the front calipers back on. The calipers look the same but the bleed nipple us in a different position.
Should the bleed nipple be at the top to let the air out ?
A pint for the quickest (correct) answer !!

Air tends to rise when in liquid, so the bleed nipple should be at top!
Best double check is to look at either the parts manual or the WSM, both should have pictures of the calipers in situ.
