Quick question... if you're facing the front of the engine, what direction do you need force to remove the crank pulley/harmonic balancer bolt?

I read 'anti clockwise' on a site, which means pull the breaker bar from the driver side towards the passenger side (LHD drive, by the way)... is this correct? Is it normal thread, and not reverse thread?

I would have thought, if reverse thread, I'd be wanting to go clockwise (passenger side towards drive side) to remove the bolt...

Just making sure, as I'd like to keep my swearing to one direction.

The damper bolt is a NORMAL threaded bolt (righty-tighty-lefty-loosey).

Anticlockwise... Like all screws (except a few on other rare cars)

 

Thanks - always seem to have worked with reverse thread bolts for the crank... didn't seem possible, but sure enough, it came off
