if you're trying to install new pads, clockwise.

search next time, this is an easy one and is well-covered.

You can also buy a brake block thingy and use a rachet

I don't see why everyone who EVER does their brakes doesn't already have one, they're like 10 bucks and make it SO easy

One day I used scissors in a pinch.

Shit worked like magic.

why woulnd't you just assume you screwed it back in just like everything else in the world....

left = loose (out)

right = tight (in)

yeah, but it was insanely hard to twist in, which is why i posted instead of searching. I posted and ran back because i needed to drive and couldnt because my brakes werent on so i was hoping for some quick help. But now i need some good info, so please refer to this thread here:
