Guys,

I am installing the Phase II disc brake kit from applied. The instruction state that the caliper should be located at the 12:00 position on the rear wheels, but the brackets will only get me to the 1:30 position (front rear wheel) and 10:30 position (Rear wheel) with still leaving the caliper bleed valve at the top position.

Do I have older brackets? Is it only the Manny system that has the calipers at the 3:00 and 9:00 front rear boggie arm and rear boggie arm respectively?

Also, can anyone confirm the disc brake bracket goes on the outside of the boggie arm (axle side) and the trutrack mount goes on the inside of the boggie arm (behind the boggie arm and axle).

Is there a location I can find a photo?

Thanks for any help.

Tom

Tom,
You undi one boilt holding the caliper and rotate it to the position where
it will have the maximum bleed and bleed, then mount it.

Our new design is clocked so one can bleed it in place.
