harmonic balancer bolt will not remove does it clock wise or counter clock wise

It turns counter clockwise to open. There is a special tool that attaches to a breaker bar to hold the pulley while you crack open the crank pulley bolt. I have seen the tool on line for about $50 to $60.

definetly counterclockwise, good luck

I put the socket on the strongarm then put on the bolt , place against frame and bump the starter.. works everytime .
