Crank pulley bolt

Does anyone know if its reverse threaded.

Looking at the motor do I turn it clockwise or counter???

If not mistaken you would turn it counter. Should be standard thread. Its on there pretty good.

Not reverse thread, while looking at front of engine turn counter clockwise. The crank will spin with it unless you leave it in gear with park brake on

The trick is to put a breaker bar across the frame, disconnect the coil and give a quick jolt from the starter.... For anyone else searching the forum looking for a solution.

I rested the cam gear remover in the harmonic balancer bolt points and then let it push against the frame while I used the breaker bar to bust it loose.
