I am using a CE bracket with 82 Mustang calipers on the Mustang II front end but may have a slight problem with these brackets. The bleeder screw on the caliper is lower than the hose and it is pointing down slightly. Am I going to have trouble bleeding?

Yes. Can you flip them side to side, and get the bleeder higher?

That's what I thought. Tried flipping but won't work. I bet it has something to do with the fact the spindles are dropped?
Anyone else had this problem?

Ok then, you can bleed them by removing them from the rotor, turning the bleeder up, and putting a block of wood between the pads to keep the piston from popping out.

That's exactly what I was going to do but it is a pain. I don't think the bracket is designed properly or is this common for dropped spindles?
