That's why the calipers have two bleed ports, so you can bleed from the one on top. If you rotate your mounting bracket counter-clockwise to the next set of holes, it might eliminate the brake line/frame conflict.

Very good call Dave!! I thought it was kinda funny the way it was rigged. I put it back the same way I found it. But, come to think of it when I bought the trailer used the PO told me the front axle was relatively new. I'll bet who ever installed the replacement axle installed it incorrectly. And I'll bet it doesn't look like that from the factory. I'm going to check on that tomorrow. The trailers are built right here in my hometown. I'll get to the bottom of this. Thanks again for your insight on this. It was right there in front of my face and I didn't put two and two together. Another set of eyes and an extra brain sure helps out!! Can I bleed the brakes okay in the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position?
