The blead niples should be at the top, as air rises, if they are at the bottom, the air will be traped and nt be able to escape

s above, yeh, the nipple must be at the top, air rises.....

Don;t worry, you're not the first, and certainly won;t be the last to make that mistake!!

All you need to do is swap the calipers from one side of the car to the other!!
