I replaced the main cablel with a jim finch part and the smaller with a buick part. Also put in a set of loaded calibers and have not used the car since. Medical stuff. Even using loaded calibers it was still a pain in the a__.

Since the left one rotates to the right, it would have to have left hand threads to push the piston away from it. The other wheel would be opposite. They screw in and out by hand so it shouldn't be a problem. That's not the part that gets stuck. It's the adjuster inside the piston. I wonder if you had a stuck one, you could, in the process of a pad change, pop out the two-way check valve, stick a drill bit or something in the hole and use a piston-pusher tool to break the adjuster loose. I might try it when that time comes. I might be buying a caliper. Steak
