I'm sure you know that, but sometimes we all can miss the simplest steps (especially when we're tired).

Thanks! Yes, I know how bleeders are supposed to go. These style rotors and calipers are directional, so they have to go on specific sides. You can see the arrow just above the Wilwood name on the caliper in a couple of the pics. And yes, the calipers do have bleeders on both top and bottom. The Wilwood instructions properly explain that once installed only the top ones are used for bleeding.
