[Fot] Spit rear brakes

[Tim Pettenati]

Last night I returned the backing plates to the correct orientation, with the
wheel cylinders at the top.  Easier job than I thought. Bleed the brakes again
and all is well.

Thanks for the advise.

Some
folks have the notion that air in the brake lines will come out the
bottom of
the cylilnder.
A friend restored a Camaro and put the left caliper on the
right side and
the right on the left because he thought the bleeder should be
on the
bottom. 
Duh.
That doesn't work.
Best put the backing plates where they
belong.
