Front caliper bleeding, girling calipers, vented discs.
240 89 DL sedan B230F

So can someone explain to me the usage of the three bleed valves per caliper?
As I have always understood, air rises to the top hence the bleed valves are placed at the top. i.e. this is why we have different left/right calipers.

I noticed my calipers have one bleed valve at the top, and one in the MIDDLE of either side. What are those ones for?

Let me know,
Greg Mustang
