`97 Accord Crank bolt removal??Help!
I am in the process of changing the timing & balancer belts on one of my `97 Accord EX 4 cyl. 5spd`s.
I have not been able to remove the crank bolt for the harmonic balancer-pulley & have already broken a socket with my 1\2" air impact using 150 psi of air.
Are the threads on the crank boolt left hand possibly?
I am leary to "wedge" a screw driver into the flywheel;if the bolt is This tight,I feel it is possible to damage the flywheel!
Any suggestions would be Greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Auto zone or Advance Auto sell a bottle of rust/bolt remover called PB Blaster It works very very good. I've taken very hard impossible bolts with just a 3/8 ratchet and socket. Just let the bolt soak for awhile and it'll do it's wonders!!!!!
