By rotating the caliper up two things happened. One - Everything clears and there is more than enough room to remove the caliper for pad replacement.
Two - the bleeder screw on the caliper is no longer on the top of the piston bore. To over come this I bled the system first in this position. Then removed the caliper and held it so the bleeder was on top and bled each caliper one more time to ensure all the air was out of the system. This should be the only time I have to do this unless I remove the caliper from the hose for some reason. I feel pad replacement will happen more often.
