I think I already know the answer to this but here goes:

I replaced the left front caliper on my brakes. When i replaced it I thought it was strange that the bleeding valve was at the bottom. I figured it might have been a right side, but it seemed to fit fine. Well, I have been having a b&*$@ of a time bleeding the brakes.

So today, it occurred to me that the front caliper must be the wrong side and the brakes will never bleed because the valve is at the bottom (and the air bubbles rise).

Am I right about this or do I need to ponder it over a few more beers? Thanks for the help.

All I know is that the bleeder valve is supposed to be at the top...

Well, that at least helps confirm my suspicion that it is the wrong side caliper (I really should have replaced both to begin with - they're cheap too).
