OK I've come across 90k miles on my 96 Civic therefore I'm replacing the timing belt, alternator belt, and the power steering belt. When in process of taking off the old timing belt, where you need to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt, I ran into a problem. Even with the claimed 130 ft. # torque, I cannot remove this bolt with an impact wrench with a 200+ ft. # torque impact wrench. Just to be sure, is the direction to remove the bolt counter-clock wise or clockwise?

 

Lefty loosey righty tighty haha Go counter clockwise. You might have to sit there for a while with the impact on it. I had to.

 

OK thanks.
