There you go--that's the Gen6 Camaro caliper for 345mm rotor--definitely has a bleeder on the inboard side of the caliper body.

Re: Spongy Pedal after Brembo update
I wish that was the case but there is no bleeder !
I am going to try the pressure bleeding at a freinds shop i know there is air in the system
I looked at gen6 calipers they are completely different than these ?

Re: Spongy Pedal after Brembo update
There MUST be a bleeder on the inboard side of that caliper - get that camera up inside the wheel opening and show us!

Scroll through the 4 pictures in the link (same photo source I posted earlier) - that's the Cardone caliper you reference, and it clearly shows 2 bleed valves, one inside and one outside.

Re: Spongy Pedal after Brembo update
Something is hinky, or I haven't been paying attention.....still believe there needs to be an inboard bleeder.
Is the photo showing top or bottom?
Is there a hex plug in the inboard upper position?
The reference photo from Rock Auto (Cardone reman caliper) shows a bleeder on both sides.
Did you buy these calipers new?
Is the upper inboard position blank?
If there is a removable plug on the inboard upper, remove it and see if a bleeder will fit, or if fluid comes out.

application illustrations showing bleeder - yes, a little confusing since only one is shown, same atrwork

Re: Spongy Pedal after Brembo update
The first photo you posted is right side of the car, showing outer bleed port in correct (upper) position, and the second photo, while not a really clear view, does look like there is a valve with rubber cap. This would be the right side caliper viewed from inboard, looking upward.
Is this correct?
