Is the bleeder screw at the top most part of the piston bore so that it bleeds out all of the air and nothing gets trapped in the caliper?

I guess you got your other issues from above corrected? What was the problem?

I looked again and remembered at picture of an install done in a magazine, April 2010 issue of Street Trucks (may be Truckin). Anyway there is a picture of the rear end, from the passenger side (so that the front of the truck is to the viewers right), the pinion is at 3 o'clock and the caliper is at about 10 o'clock. I look on line for the pic, but did not find it. The lead photo for the article is a red and white 80's square body...

Hope this helps.
