Hi there, folks

Could anyone who's taken their crank pulley off (for e.g, a supercharger install) tell me if the bolt loosens clockwise or counterclockwise? My Helm's manual does not specify this and I want to be sure I'm not wasting a ton of time and energy trying to tighten the damn thing!

Thanks in advance,
...Andrew

 

Righty tighty - lefty loosey. Counter-clockwise takes the bolt out. it's just in really tight. You will need a pulley holder or make a pulley holder, to remove the bolt.

 

 

It can take up to 500 ft/lbs to break that thing loose. A longer breaker bar will minimize the sudden jolt when it does come loose.

 

Thank you kindly, everyone!

 

only bolt i know that is reverse threaded is the auto-tensioner
is there anything else?
