Does the caliper mount towards the front or to the rear of the truck. I bought a cpp rear brake kit.

Thanks. I just have different calipers. I put them towards the back.

Whichever way you put them, if the bleed screw is not at the top, you can't get the air out of the system. There's probably only one way to mount them where the bleed screw is at the top of the caliper.
