Doing my first rebuild. Is the front pulley bolt a right or left hand thread?

 

righty tighty..

 

Thanks!

 

If the engine has never been cracked open, they can be a bitch. Heat the bolt with a propane torch first. I had a TII engine that I ended up taking to a friend at the Ford dealership and used his 3/4" impact, my 1/2" wouldn't touch it, even though the flywheel nut was easy.
