Well, well, well, I fell into the well, get dad to help me out !
I finished my passenger side already, but upon attempting to loosen the adjuster on the driver side brake, I found it extremely difficult to turn ( I think I tightened it ). The book says clockwise, but is that while facing front ? How bout this, when I use my screwdriver to turn it, am I pressing down to turn the screw up, toward my face, or vice versa...I already tried pressing down in this direction and nearly shattered my thumbnail this Sunday. Gonna try again this morning, and maybe get to work late instead of not at all
