Its Always Something!! Well I gave the car to Slowhawk today to install a linelock kit before I hit up the track. He calls me today and tells me he cant bleed the brakes because the goddamn calipers are on backwards, WTF?? So needless to say he went out of his way and fixed the situation. Big thanks to slowhawk.
Thats good man, its although part of the proceedures, the question is if they were indeed backwards, then your brakes must have been all fucked up for long time.
Back in my rookie days I had a 70 chevelle, I did a front disk brake conversion and installed the calipers backwards, I could never bleed the break correctly until i looked, the bleeder screw needs to be at the top lol.
Dont feel bad, I just did my line lock with JL-ws6 and my bleeder screws are seezed and I have to heat them up and take them out later this week. but the line lock works and the car drives. So i'll live.

Some dumb *** put them on the wrong sides which put the bleeders at the bottom of the calipers. Now they are switched back to the right sides
The bleeders were frozen but I just torched them,no biggie,pretty normal.
And the line loc works great,go buy some new tires

Nope Ive never even had the calipers off at all since ive owned the car. The only time those calipers came off are when my buddy Joel did the brakes, but he never took the calipers off of the line. It had to have been whoever owned the car before me.
