Harmonic balancer bolt removal

toolmanmike said

Holy 5 year old thread Batman. They are long fine threaded bolts so be prepared to do some wrenching. I take the lower pulley off first to make it easier. You will need a balancer puller to remove it. What kind of repairs are you doing? Ps, a impact drill is the wrong tool. A impact wrench is what you need.

IM fixing to replace the cam shaft , timing chain and new aluminum heads. I bought a breaker bar so now its a matter if getting that bolt off, do you which way the engine turns? Just need confirmation (if facing the car, should be clockwise right?) Might even try the "crank method" if I cannot physically remove it. Unfortunately I do not own a impact wrench.
