If your question is about swinging the calipers out of the way to put in pads, then to loosen the bolt you have to turn it counterclockwise. I hope I'm getting your question right.
good luck. Also if the bolt is stuck or hard to turn, use PB blaster on it or a wrench with good leverage. This post has been edited by malecrod: Feb 28, 2008 - 9:21 PM -------------------- 3sgteing.
