But if you vaccum bleed them you want the bleed screws on the bottom.
Attach a piece of hose to the bleed screw that is cracked open. Put
the other end in a can of fluid. Hook a vaccum to the master cylinder
and there you go. Works best on a completly dry empty system.
I personally will NEVER do this. But I am sure someone will or has
tried
