2030 Accord - caliper bolt turning direction

righty tighty lefty loosey... :)

It would seem backwards from the perspective of facing the fender of the car.

Use some penetrating oil (don't get any on your barke disc or pads)

So, when facing the caliper from the outside, it is to the right to loosen, correct?

I've never heard of caliper bolts being left hand thread. Only a driver side AXEL hub nut would be left hand thread.

So counter clockwise to loosen. I thought that there was just a smaller bolt to remove to SWING the caliper up to R & R the pads.

Unless things have changed recently, the only left hand threaded fasteners that I'm aware of on a Honda are inside the transmission. Everything else is right hand threaded, i.e., tightens clockwise and loosens counter-clockwise.

Except if you own one of these,

That sounds right. I don't usually get confused, but when doing really contorted things I like to set up a ratchet to loosen, then put it on the fastener to see which way it resists.

Do you mean the slide pins?

They unscrew the usual way.

Use a 6-point socket and a long extension. It will crack loose.
