had a leaking rear wheel brake cylinder (massive leak), so had to replace. noticed that the bleeder port is BELOW the inlet, thinking that with that layout, there's no way to get all the air out of the cylinder. isn't the bleeder valve supposed to be at the HIGHEST point of the working volume: fluid--down, air--up?
it seems to me with this layout (design), incoming fluid will dribble into the cylinder, fill up the bottom third of the cylinder, and then go out the bleeder port. the remaining air volume that's above the bleeder port stays?
almost seems like you'd have to "bench-bleed" the wheel cylinder before installation...
just wondering.
