Thphantum Posted Wednesday at 22:38 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 22:38 Going to start mocking up the axels on a trailer I'm building at the moment. Where is the best place to mount the caliper on the leading axel? Was thinking centered at 10 o'clock in front of the axel. Anyone have any experience with this? Is there a science to it?

Nominal Posted Wednesday at 23:20 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 23:20 axl /spam As for the question, it shouldn't matter from a braking function point of view, so whatever is convenient for the plumbing/bleeding would do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted Wednesday at 23:38 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 23:38 Leading or trailing is fine, get that bleed nipple at the highest point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted Thursday at 00:16 Report Share Posted Thursday at 00:16 I've seen them in all sorts of positions including at the bottom, mainly to clear the chassis. I have a bit of flat bar same thickness as rotor. Take off caliper and fit flat bar between pads, hold caliper so screw is at the top, and bleed.
