Does the TSM bracket bolt with 3 bolts on the top and 1 on the bottum. Or is it 2 on top and 2 on the bottum. Does the "longer" side go on the top or the bottum.With the plates bolted on with 2 bolts on top and 2 bolts on the bottum, I can't get the bottum caliper bolt in on a spring under Cruzr. I'm not sure if the 3 and 1 is better. It will bring the caliper up some.
Should I mount the bleeder on top or the bottum? Never done this before and I need some help or pics. THANKS
Bleeder on TOP. It is really difficult to get all of the air out of the system when you have the bleeders at the bottom.

I'm going off of memory here because it has been a while. There should be 2 bolts on bottom and 2 on top. The top caliper bolt is a bitch to get in on a spring over, but I just got it started and then taped it in with a SFH,,,:p
Yep the bleeder should be on the top,,,
I used to gravity bleed mine with the calpier off and tap on the side of the caliper as I move it around working the bubbles out. After I have gravity feed it, I put the caliper back on.
Hope this helps.

Yep...one of the two caliper slider bolts will be a bitch to get in. I was able to grind the head flush with the shaft on one side to allow it to slide in. I know a couple people who have had to loosen their u-bolts and jack the truck to get those bolts installed when running a SOA setup. Depending on your pinion/axle rotation in the rear, you may clear, you may not. No easy answer that I know of....
