1995 Honda Accord Trying to take out Harmonic Bolt
Hello, I'm trying to replace my timing belt because it broke and I'm having a very hard time trying to take out a Harmonic Balance for some reason my friends and i can't take it out. What is the best tools to use to take off the harmonic? And just making sure do i turn it clock wise or counter clock wise?

Step 10
Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt and the crankshaft pulley. In the following pictures you can see how we did it, weve done it this way a few times now and its worked great.
Tools Used:
- Crankshaft Pulley holding tool by Schley Products, bought at TheToolWarehouse.
(Update: the Schley Products 60100 tool is no longer available and has been redesigned, so I updated the link to the redesigned tool.)
- 1/2 drive ratchet connected to the pulley holding tool.
- 1/2 drive 19mm 6point socket.
- 1/2 drive 20 long extension bar.
- 1/2 drive 18 long breaker bar.
- 2 steel pipes. 1 about 5 long and the other about 18 long.

And it's already been stated but the thread is a standard thread, meaning to loosen it you would turn it counter-clockwise.
and in case you haven't seen it already, check out this write-up on changing the timing belt...
