I forgot to take pictures when I removed my brakes. Could someone advise me which hole is for the bleeder valve? Thanks!

They're opposite side to side because the bleeder must be located at the top of the caliper when installed. The bleeder hole has a seat for the bleeder to seal against at the bottom of the threads and should be smaller than the brake hose bolt.

You can easily use google to look up pictures.

Good advise here so far friends! OP you just need to test fit east to their respective spindles and the whole that is either on top, or the one facing up, will be your bleeder hole.
