Bleeder nipple issues
I'm having another. right is tight, left is loose question.
I'm currently upgrading my brakes, and polishing the calipers using a grinder and dremel tool.
They are looking pretty nice, once all the rust and gunk is off them I will start painting.
ok here is the question mechanics will think I'm stupid for asking.
I am trying to loosen the bleeder nipple on the front driver(left) side and its starting to strip.
I had no problem with the front right side, but now I'm thinking I've been pulling it the wrong way.
I've tried a little pb blaster and even some candle wax and heat but no luck.
Can someone explain to confused mind which way do I turn the damn thing?
I was thinking from my perspective, I should turn to the right to loosen, caliper still being on the mount of course, because the nipple is in the rear of the caliper so I am so confused. I now have no idea what is top or bottom.
can anybody explain this to me or better yet have a video demonstration.
TIA

I know we all have that moment once in a while. It can be confusing when you are upside down or in an awkward position. Often, I just reset my brain with a ratchet then I know for sure I am not disoriented.
