Anyone know why changing "RotZ" to 45...

The axis on this component are reversed; the blue axis is downwards (-180). Double click on the component to see the start point and axis orientation. In other words the X axis rotation is -180 (you can show this by displaying the RotX and RotY attributes (Pro version of Sketchup only). For some reason (not sure why - maybe someone from Google could explain?) when you change any rotation in a Component the other two rotations are set to 0 so when you change the Z axis rotation to 45 the guy is 'flipped' to 0 rotation on the X axis.
You can sort this by reversing the original axis direction of the component using the axis tool or by rotating the Component by 180deg (round the X axis). If you want two rotations in a Component; say RotX and RotZ you will need to 'nest' the Component and rotate the nested elements separately... see my comments on the 'DC "jumping" when moved/rotated' thread.

That makes sense. I've edited the body to not have the -180 degree problem and when I now click on it, it swings the way I want it to. I'd like it to return to home position if you click on it again. For some reason, it blows up on the second click. No idea why.

There must be syntax issues - that I don't fully understand; perhaps a more experienced DC creator could comment? It would appear you can't have negative values or nested links (with this arrangement of variables)... However hopefully the attached solves your problem!
