Half the responses on the direction the crank pulley bolt comes out say "counterclockwise" and the other half say "clockwise." I don't give a shit what is "normal" or "right-hand" or "left-hand". Does the bolt UNSCREW COUNTERCLOCKWISE OR CLOCKWISE ????
counter-clockwise, just like almost every other bolt on the car.
^ What he said!
easy way to confirm: opposite of the crank's rotation. that way, it's natural tendency is to tighten.
the crank rotates counter clockwise too
exactly. i mis-typed in my post. i was thinking "tighten" while typing. LOL. yes, the crank goes CCW, so the crank bolt has to tighten CW, thus loosens CCW. thanks for catching my mistype!Originally Posted by A18A
Counter clock wise.

If it ain't broke... I fix it!
it is a normal bolt. Counter-clockwise to remove, clockwise to tighten. I just removed it last week. Mine has a 17mm head on it.
And yes, these motors do turn counter-clockwise. a very small drop of locktite is a good idea but not 100% necessary
