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

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 ?

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.

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.

13579453 or equivalent & cap 13579454

13579453 shown to fit 13-19 Camaro, Cadillac (Alpha) w/Brembos (front)

More references:

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

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?
