I'm not having a go at you Sean but you can't have built an entire car without a manual?

Nipples up top, air bubbles travel upwards so that's where you want to have your bleed nipple, otherwise air will always be trapped in the calliper

oh you can mount them the other way up tho(,nipples pointing down,)

Just that you`d have to take them off & hold them upside down to bleed them, them fit them back on for it all to work :-)

hee hee...i`m such the argumentative type :-)

see,,,if you were ever stuck with a broken caliper & you only had 2 left calipers or 2 right calipers, then you can still fit them up & they`ll work just fine, just that you`d have to bleed the odd one with the nipple pointing up , then fit it back on upside down

at least someone might benefit from that usless trivia :-)

I`m so full of it hey?

:-)

If upside down, just remember to put something between the pads when you bleed it off the car...
