Dude, I never touched them. Which is why you probably can't get them off

As Lewis said one of them is left handed. Don't know which

If its any consolation I can't get the ones off the cossy. I've broken two square drive adaptors

So, left side would have to undo by turning right if its the left hand thread ? and right side would have to undo by turning left as a normal thread ?

I'm confused

Both need to be turned to the left on a ERST to undo

Get someone to hold the brake pedal down hard while you get a big torque rench on them
