Help!! I am attempting to replace timing belt, with a Haynes manual....... it is not very thorogh.. I need to know if the bolt that hold the crankshaft pulley on is left or right hand thread. I cannot get it to move either way, I would like to know which way is correct when I get more "persuasive" with it..[:@]

 

The '95 2.3L 4 cyl that i am working on has a right hand thread on it (right-tight=left-loose)

 

Yes, this is a right hand thread, it is tourqued to around 130 ft lbs. On mine I had to put a bar in the transmission, and used a 1 1/2 foot breaker bar with a 2ft pipe on it to get it loose, Then tap lightly on the Balancecer to get if off.

I hope this helps.......

 

remove the radiator and use a good impact, sometimes it's the only way.sorry

 

yeah i say use a snipe and it should come

 

hey man what is a snipe?
