Does sound right. Clockwise as you look at it.
Come to think of it, when I first did mine I had to use a breaker bar. I just about managed to get enough room with it pointing under the car. That gave me about 2 inches of movement, which was enough.
Of course if you can get the car up higher it's going to be easy. Know any friendly garages?

good news... the extra leverage i got from turning the wheel gave me enough tourque to get them out easily. Now i just cant get the bloody disk off. its not budging either.
And i thought this was going to be a 1 hour job!!!

Hit it with a mallet. If that fails, there's should be some extra threaded holes in the disk that you can fit a bolt into and then push the disk off the hub. If you can find a bolt.

Thanks everyone for all the help. First disc and set of pads changed. Good job all round. Now on to the others.
What i will do is take some pics as i do the other side. One thing i found lacking in the faq for a newbie was pictures as well as the description.
