Rear brake caliper pin placement
I mixed up both sets. One pin is smooth, one pin has two flat edges.
Does the pin with the flat edges go on the leading edge or trailing edge?
Even if I didn't mix up both sets, I am not going to trust the previous work anyway: https://chevroletforum.com/forum/exp...m-tall-121645/
I cannot find any quality parts fiche/diagrams for Chevy. The Chilton manual is next to useless for Chevy too. Would love to learn how to answer these questions on my own, if anyone has tips.
Thanks!

I managed to figure out if you append &dg=1 to the URL to a gmpartsgiant.com part page, it will show an exploded diagram:
https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/g...filter=()&dg=1
But without a key to tell me where 6 goes and where 14 goes, it isn't exactly helpful.

Spot checked the calipers, the bleeders were indeed on top. I previously saw evidence of groove marks on the top bore holes. So I installed the calipers like that
