Main Accessory Pulley Removal
Help! I'm trying to replace the head gasket on a 1996 Saturn (1.9 Litre) and
I can't seem to get the bolt off the main accessory pulley (bolted to the crankshaft). Can anyone tell me if it is a standard thread pattern (clockwise to tighten) or, if it is reverse threaded (clockwise to loosen)? We've used a significant amount of torque in the counter-clockwise direction to try to loosen it, but so far, no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Cant really see it here as its angled wrong. http://www.zzperformance.com/products_img/368_111.jpg |

An average impact has never worked for me on this bolt. I use a 2' breaker
bar, along with another bar wedged through the pulley spoke and resting on the edge of the oil pan (where it meets the block) to keep the pulley from turning. That busts it free nice and easy.
