Hi, I need to take the crankshaft pulley off my 92 Honda Civic, 1.5L, 16V (engine D15B7). The photo in my Haynes manual shows the tech bracing the flywheel to prevent the engine from turning as if he's going to turn the crankshaft pulley bolt clockwise, even though that particular picture is being referenced during the crankshaft pulley bolt removal procedures. If this is right, then the crankshaft pulley bolt would be left handed (clockwise to loosen; counterclockwise to tighten).


Which is it????!!!! Last thing I need to do is to turn it the wrong way and break the bolt off!!

Cheers,
Ron

 

It's left-loose, right-tight.

 

It is threaded normally. You would turn it clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.
