Yes, the brake adjustment stars on left and right hand sides of trailer brake assemblies spin the same direction for adjustments. It's always counter clockwise for tightening the brakes and clockwise for loosening them.

We have the brake adjustment tool part # W80630 which is designed for this as well.
