Rear caliper has two bleeders - which to use?

Hi all...it has been a while. Hope all the regulars are well and hello to the new ones.

I've forgotten which rear bleeder is for which...

I believe the top one (sticks out horizontally) is when you disconnect the brake line, and the bottom (faces down) is if the piston has been out. So if you've rebuilt the caliper you bleed the bottom one first, then the top one? Yes, no?

Thanks!

That's correct, bottom to be used first with a "new" caliper, otherwise use top for normal bleeding.

Lol, it's been only a little over a year, but thank you.

Was double checking some info needed and knew I had asked before.
