Are the threads on the calipers bolts reversed from top to bottom?

Hi there,

Both bolts are right hand threads, you may have one that has been fitted with a locking compound, if it has been cross threaded and is binding up, you may need a replacement caliper as the alloy in the housing will tear out the thread, there will be nothing that you can do about it, so just work it easy and hopefully it is sealed in and not damaged.
