[weeksy2]

when undoing the bolts that attach the brake lines to the MC, which way round is 'loose' as techincally it's upside down.... but have they reversed the thread so it's the normal 'lefty loosy' ?

Undo is Anti-clockwise as you look at the head of the banjo, that is if you look from underneath (Brembo Radial), if looking down from the top you will be turning the spanner clockwiswe

Cheers bro. Just want to take up as little of your time next week as possible.

The banjo bolt is a normal thread so you need to turn it anticlockwise when looking directly at the bolt head to loosen it.

So if it's a bolt that you're loosening and it's underneath something you still have to imagine that you're looking at it from underneath. If you can't see the bolt 'cos you're on the other side of it, and would be looking at it from the threaded end if you had x-ray specs then you turn the spanner clockwise from where you're looking at it, cos that's still anticlockwise as far as the banjo is concerned.

Phew....much easier to do than explain
