Quote: I pulled a factory NOS Kelsey caliper out of box and it had a bleeder on top and bottom don't see that very often That, i would like to see a picture of. Never heard of that before, on a Kelsey Hayes, 4 piston caliper, Mopar, or Ford Mustang caliper. And i have been rebuilding these things for the past 12 years, and wrenching for 30.
