Which direction to loosen crankshaft pully bolt?
 

I have to take off this pully to replace the timing belt. Is is
regular threaded (counter clockwise to loosen)?
or reverse threaded (clockwise to loosen)?
Thanks for you help!

Re: Which direction to loosen crankshaft pully bolt?
 

This bolt is right-hand threaded, so yes, it loosens by
turning counterclockwise. It is, howevever, often
notoriously tight. Some options for freeing it:

Would you please give your model of Honda and miles on it in
the future, for info purposes in case this discussion
proceeds further?

I’m new here and have gone thru the all the messages I can see for 96
and 97 accords without seeing the "direction" for this huge bolt.
Even the manual doesnt say, which makes me guess it’s a normal
threaded bolt. But with the amount of force needed, I’d hate to start
the wrong direction, and believe many of you have already done this.
Thanks

Yep, it's normal thread, that's why the huge torque. When you
reinstall it, don't leave it too loose or it will undo itself.
