Ft Pully rt ot left thread?

Ok, I am pulling apart and engine and the front pully bolt is tight and tough to move. Is it a right thread bolt or a left thread bolt?

Hey Felix, Ill buy your car if youll sell it for $300 . Seriously though, would you sell just the intake for $300? Id give you my stock intake so you could sell it as a running car . Actually, if I had the money, Id probably go for your car. Its got all the stuff I would want, the weber, the panas, the RB exhaust, the oil cooler (already done!!), a nice looking interior, etc. Im just too far away if I had the money anyway.

The front pulley bolts are usually loctited, which does make them very hard to remove. If the flywheel is properly locked, it is easier to get them cracked loose.

They're a pain. I was pulling apart a twin dizzy 12A a couple days ago, and needed some (lots) WD40 (penetrating oil) and just kept trying real hard with a wheel brace. Eventually it broke free.

Just keep trying and you'll get there in the end.
