BRAKES - rear disks-Does This Sound Like its going to work?

[mrdrinksalil]

Is this driver side caliper on my dana 60 on the correct side? I'm about to start plumbing the brake system and the bleeder position had me curious. Is it possible to put these chevy calipers on the wrong side?

thats not right. bleeder should be up on top. me thinks you have calipers flip flopped

The Calipers should be marked "L" and "R" on the Bendix models. Check the part number. It should read: XXXXXXXX - "L" or "R". That will tell you if you have them right side or backwards. Can't make it out in the pic.

Yep , it's on the wrong side ,the bleeder needs to be on top or you will never get all the air out.

haha, yeah i thought they were wrong.. I musta had too many rum and cokes the day I put those on. While i've got the thread started, does anyone see anything wrong with this set-up..

Chevy Dana 60 front calipers

Chevy Dana 44 calipers on a 14 bolt

1-5/16" master

stock brake booster (82 c10)

Using 3/16 line to a T fitting in front and then the stainless hoses Offroad design sells

Using 1/4 line with a adjustable proportioning valve to a T fitting at the axle and then 3/16 line down the axle and stainless braided hose to the dana 44 calipers

Does anyone see any problems I'm going to run into? I seem to see a lot of mixed info on brakes.
