Hey Guys,
Can someone please confirm for me if the crankshaft pulley bolt is a standard thread (ie anticlockwise to undo) or a left hand thread.
Thanks

One sure hopes, it ain't pretty when you have one that's not.

Remember to put the washer with the hollow side facing the engine.

The implied question here concerns breaking the bolt loose, I guess??

Most use all the tricks, i.e., penetrating oil, 3/4 drive and a breaker bar of your choice. It is supposed to have been installed with 219 ft lbs. IIRC.

use fender covers....so when it breaks loose...well you know...

I used a floor jack on the end of a long-handled 3/4" breakover bar to break mine loose. Good luck.

Yeah, those high-torque bolts are crazy ... after the first 45 deg of movement, it's still on there really tight!
