well, it looks like I'll have to do my bleeding procedure with the caliper unbolted from the bracket. I tried to remove the cross over tube, but the factory powdercoat under the paint I did is too thick/strong, and it's just going to round off the tube nut. I even tried to take a scribe and break the seal on the powdercoat, but it wasn't enough.




A lot of "looks" in this thread, it "looks" to me you should move the calipers back to the rear upright position, you tried, but if one time in the future you hesitate to bleed the brakes because they have to be removed and inverted first, "looks" and polar moments etc will take a big back seat. Besides, moving the drivers seat 1/2" back would likely impact the polar moment more then rear caliper location, if you weigh more then say 200lbs

Have I confirmed anything?


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
