Dust cap.

Yeh, Brake bleeder screw .

Wait, the brake bleeder screw is on the outside of the caliper and I don't have to crawl under the car to get to it?

GENIUS!

Is this an american car thing or a Ford thing or what? None of the German cars I've owned in he last twenty years have done this.

Well this one is on the outside... but there's another one on the other side.

On the same caliper? That's new to me too.

Yes, to do a proper brake bleed you have to do both sides because the pistons on the caliper are on both sides rather than one.

When you have pistons on both sides you have to bleed both sides

Far out, I had no idea. Thanks for setting that straight.
