Whoa. Tegger's site has gone commercial.

Either that or someone's copyrights are being ethically
violated.

crank bolt left or right hand thread??
 

Someone once told me thre was only 1 or 2 reverse threads on hondas.
one of which is somewhere in the steering pump i think. but i have no
idea. Crank should be standard thread. It's just a SOB to lock the
pulley down and get enough leverage to break it.

you probably have to get some heat
to go some part store and use MPS gas
they come in small bottles like for propane they use for the pumping
but it is a yellow colour can

or just use oxy and acle if you gots ..
remeber heat it up then let it cool down on its own for like 15 mins
then try it

off with the right tools, namely air tools, or if using hand tools, the
correct pulley wheel holder and a 3/4" socket set. [ordinary 1/2" sets
flex too much.]

normal r/h thread, but these things self-tighten, so they get real hard
to get off. go to tegger.com and check out the pulley wheel holder
tools - they make all the difference. also consider using a 3/4" socket
set rather than normal 1/2" - the bolt is real tight and the wind-up in
the 1/2" set gets a bit scary and hard to control. or use air tools -
/much/ easier!

The long Craftsman 1/2" flex handle will do it. Agreed on the seals. Don't
heat anything up unless you want to wreck stuff.

Right, bigger is often better but also not essential nor
economical. A 1/2-inch drive set worked fine for my 91
Civic. The 3/4-inch drive set of tools will set a person
back around $75 or more. (Two 8-inch long, 3/4-inch drive
extensions by themselves will run over $50.) Plus, the only
place that has a good stock of 3/4-inch drive tools is
Sears. Harbor Freight, Pep Boys, Home Depot and the like do
not carry much, if any, of this size drive.

Of course, if one jumps up and down on the end of the
breaker bar or its extension, as a certain person here is
reported to have done, then all bets are off as to the
safety of the tools, the crankshaft pulley, and the person.

Use a long extension to get the torque with as little force
as possible applied to the end.

Lastly, arranging with one's favorite local mechanic to
break the bolt free with an industrial strength impact
wrench for the measly sum of say $15 is often the preferred
quick fix here.

in terms of sheer force, sure. but it's much safer to go the 3/4"
route. there's almost /no/ wind-up, so when the bolt lets go, it just
unscrews rather than suddenly dissipating all that stored elastic energy
from the tool in potentially destructive ways such as slipping,
cracking, etc. sure, the tools cost a little more than just struggling
with your existing tool set, but:

1. they're guaranteed to work. yes, a sears breaker bar is guaranteed
in replacement in the event that it fails, but that's just the issue,
it's not 100% certain to shift the bolt and it might fail. the 3/4"
absolutely won't. trust me on that one.

2. the 3/4" stuff is still a good deal cheaper than buying air tools or
even an electric impact wrench [that may hot have sufficient torque].

3. once you have it, you'll be surprised how often you go back to it!
