bwhackd34 OP mopar B Joined: May 2012 Posts: 617 PA	I can clearly see two round bosses....one upper and one lower....on either side but there is ABSOLUTELY no evidence any bleeder has ever been there....I am a mechanic/machinist and if they were broken off that would not be much of an issue.....not being there is an issue......unless they are hidden inside toward the spindle and not visible...although as I said....I can clearly see the two bosses on each caliper....

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.
