Okay today I wanted to do a quick brake adjustment on my 36 with mechanical brakes, as I noticed my right front wheel does not turn by hand "super tight" the left has too much drag and the rears spin freely. I attempted to move the adjusters with a small wrench, no movement at all. I always use to have trouble adjusting my model A can't remember to turn clockwise or counter clockwise to back off? And do I need a long persuader bar or wrench to move these adjusters?

I plan to pull all the hubs at a later date but will have to get the fronts backed off before they will ever come off. Supposedly the car has recent brake pads but it still does not stop.
