00 Xterra front disc removal assistance ???

Do the large caliper bolts holding to the front knuckle on a xterra follow the lefty-loosee or are they reverse thread ?

I have been trying to remove the front calipers to replace the rotors abd cannot remove the top drivers side bolt.

How about the smaller bolts and the calipers?

Any tricks, the wheel is rotated to the maximum in the correct direction.

Any special tools needed to remove the hub.

I have worked on toyota solid axle and ifs and never had one this hard.


TIA

Yes, they are standard thread. If you are just doing the brake pads, the other option to taking them apart is to remove the caliper guide pins and pull the caliper itself.
