Removing Crankshaft Pulley
To remove the bolt that holds the crankshaft pulley off Japanese cars
and SUVs such as a Nissan, turn it in the direction opposite to the direction the engine turns, right? |

I don't know of any that don't have standard right handed threads. The
issue in removing Japanese crankshaft bolts is that they are usually torqued to a level approaching welded-in-place.

All the ones I've personally come across have normal right-hand threads regardless of engine rotation direction. -- Tegger |

You need a BIG impact to get it off. Weirdly enough, you only put it back on to (IIRC) 100 foot-pounds. |

Using the OEM service manual would eliminate the confusion generated by
posters who have no idea...

Honda crank bolts are final-torqued to somewhere around 120-130 ft lbs. It varies depending on engine model. There is a phenomenon known as "embedment", where the surface texture of the bolt threads sort of mesh with the surface of the receiving threads in the crank nose, to a lesser or greater degree. This embedment results in the need for up to several times tightening torque when loosening. Honda has mentioned this at least once in their internal dealership publication. -- Tegger |
