remove the bolt counter-clockwise and get a puller
counterclockwise
The crankshaft itself will turn the opposite way to the bolt.
Most bolts turn counterclockwise to come off. Year, make, model and which pulley would be helpful.
Counter clockwise as per normal.
The big 1 and 7/16" nut turns counterclockwise to remove it.
which way do you turn the harmonic balancer bolt on a 95 geo tracker to loosen it
what direction do you turn the oil pan bolt to come off a 2005 infiniti g35
97-05 lefty loosy, but very tight on my 99.
It turns off left. But it is almost impossible to do without an impact wrench. To get it off without impact tools you need to find some way to keep the engine from rotating as you turn the bolt. That bolt is in there pretty tight and almost any method you try to hold the crank pulley is going to cause damage when you try to crank that bolt loose. Suggest you check with a local rental outfit and rent the compressor (if you don't have one) and the necessary impact wrench and socket. Good luck.
You can turn it both ways to see how sharp it is.
Counter-clock-wise (CCW) AKA Lefty-loosey, righty-tighty.
