Why will it be a PITA? (putting A3 caliper!!!) What is best to have the bleeder
screw over or under the caliper? Which is best? I think it makes more sense to
have the bleeder under the caliper, but maybe I don't see the praticability
when bleeding brakes!!!! I'm thinking on putting A3 brake on my rocco, but
maybe I will reconsider my point of view!!! Thanks for the precision, JOel 87
