I mentioned earlier that this "How-To" assumed certain knowledge on the part of the DIY'er, however I want to reinforce that your brake lines should have free travel (as they move relative to your suspension). And if your lines don't look like this, then you installed the calipers backwards.
Would it be better to use lines with banjo fittings and the the bleed nipple could be at the top?
