maybe a dumb question but...

I have a scarebird brake system and ive been having bad pressure problems.. bled the brakes several times over, two new MC's and such.. it just dawned on me yesterday though, my bleeder screws on my front calipers are not at the highest position. meaning, they are not at 12 o'clock on the calipers, they are more at 7 or 8.. is this enough of a problem to justify trying to take off the calipers from their mounting and bleed them disconnected from the car (the brake lines still connected obviously) and with the caliper positioned so the screws are at 12? thanks

Depends on the caliper design.

How do you deal with this issue? Do you remove one of the bolts and swivel the caliper to a position that allows the bleeder to be at the top, bleed it an then put it back into proper position?

Usually they are left and right, and you have to swap them.

Yes! ( the short answer)
