Anyone have SSBC Force 10 calipers? Help!

[Rogue74]

I've got dual piston Force 10 calipers and the instructions say to install with the bleed valve pointing up, yet these have two bleed valves (one for each piston?). I'm not sure how this applies since on the GN one would be pointing up and one poining down?

I dont own the calipers but you have to have the bleeders on any caliper pointing up otherwise it will not bleed properly if you have one that is facing down you might have to somehow gravity bleed it or bleed that one first before you hang it somehow.

just reread you post thats seems strange 2 bleeders.... I would bleed the bottom one first.... thats very weird Ihave 4 piston brembos on my vette and theres only one bleed with the both sides connected.

Yeah I've never seen that before either. I tried emailing SSBC, but they don't seem to answer emails, so I think I'll have to call them up.

I've owned PBR, Brembo and currently AP Racing calipers. They have all had one bleeder. Is SSBC trying to introduce some sort of fluid recirculation capability?

I looked at their site and they only show one valve. I think they screwed in an extra on mine or something.

Hi Guys,

I have them.... pretty sure there are two bleeder screws because the caliper can be used on either side vs. a stock (or other brand) caliper which is side-specific. There is no right-hand or left-hand caliper like stock...this made the production of them cheaper due to only one mold and not two. I need to take another look at them as I have not put them on yet.

Hope this helps....:smile:

Thanks! I started looking at them today and came to that conclusion too... I assume you just switch the screw around to the way you need them.
