Toyota 4runner 1999 has right hand threads. I used a flush gear puller (washered out between the puller halfves to allow alignment of two drill bits into holes in crankshaft pulley and also allows enough room for 19mm socket to be used on crankshaft pulley bolt, I then used a deep socket over one of the puller bolts (nut end) with a couple of extentions wedged against the truck frame ) then with a half inch drive breaker bar and a four foot cheater pipe was able to break the torque on the nut. However the bolt on my gear puller will have to be replaced (bent), but I didn't have to purchase or manufactured any special holding tool.
It is right hand thread. Turn counter clockwise to loosen.
the crank pulley bolt has standard threads.
Not all crankshaft pulley bolts are left hand thread. In my experience if it is a left hand thread the bolt head normally has an L stamped on it to notify the direction of thread
Turn it to the RIGHT.

That pulley is a press fit type. There are not any threads. You will need to rent/buy some pullers for that power steering pulley.
The crankshaft position sensor is located at the lower left hand side of the crankshaft pulley. The crankshaft pulley is the large pulley located in the center lower portion of the front of the engine.
The bolt on the tensioner pulley are opposite of a standard thread. That is, righty loosey lefty tighty. I know this first hand because I stripped the threads on my pulley trying to remove it on my 94 Sub.
