All the bolts on the s2k (drain bolt, diff drain bolt, etc) all loosen turning clockwise right? I've been trying for like 30 minutes alone trying to get the damn oil drain bolt off. I've tried a mallet and the wrench keeps flying off and nothing happens. I've now been trying to kick the wrench with my legs to get more power and that seems to be working. I just want to know if I'm turning in the right direction.

Correct?

PS-This is not a joke! I'm a newbie!

As you are looking at the drainbolt, turn it counter clockwise to remove.
Put a wrench on it and just tap it to break loose.

Counter-clockwise to loosen bolts/nuts/screws ...

I'm in trouble guys! I kept forcing it clock wise! Now the bolt keeps turning but won't come off! I broke it right? How can I get it off?

That's wierd I just got the bolt off! I kept turning it clock wise until it was loose(which was wrong accoridng to you guys, BAD ME)! Then after I posted I kept turning it counter clockwise and it finally came off! Should I go get a new bolt from Honda? Please don't tell me my threads on the engine are messed up! The oil is draining as I type this.

if you can install the bolt back onto the car and torque it to 33lb/ft then i'd guess you'd be ok.

The bolt looks pretty messed up, I think I'm just going to go get another one.
It looks like it has an uneven metal shaving on it, it's hard to explain!

if the bolt is messed up, then don't try to put it back in. also, you need to thoroughly check the threads on the engine block as well.
