David,


You might be right.  I did some adjusting about a week ago and thought they
both turned CCW or maybe I just think they did.  Dang dyslexia.

You must have a bastard installation.  281 609 801 B is the adjuster for the
left side, 802 B for the right side per ETKA (all '80-92 2WD and Syncro).
The threads are opposite hand.


 From the way the internal activating lever points in the parts diagram,
rotating the side of the star nearest the backing plate down will decrease
brake clearances.


Yours,
David
