Just curious as to indianamoons's quote of right hand threads.

The parts necessary to make the LH caliper function as a mirror of the RH caliper are marked as LH. It is how the ramps are cut for the balls, one side is clockwise, the other counterclockwise. The LH markings are for the assembler. Imagine what would happen without the markings. No handbrake after reassembly.
