Installing rear calipers and rotors from CCP on a 67 Camaro. The bleeders point slightly downward when installed. The directions warn about this due to trapping air. I contacted CCP tech line and they said I needed to pull a pin and rotate the caliper to point the bleeder up.

After I tried and realized there is no way to pivot the caliper since it is locked into a 2 o clock position - tried other ways to keep the caliper on the rotor and point the bleeder up.

Anyone installed CCP rear calipers on a 67 and got around this?

Appreciate any help - thanks

I put cpp disc on my 67 camaro and had the bleeder on the right rear pointing down it turned out to be the wrong kit it was for a 68 camaro with staggerd shock cpp made it right and sent me the right caliper. but after that both bleeders were on the top side of the calipers. good luck.
