I attempted to remove the crankshaft pulley on my '02 in order to change the timing belt and also the water pump.
Question: Is the nut on the crankshaft left or right hand thread. If it is right hand, my impact gun might need an upgrade. If it is left hand, I'm a moron (low-grade).
Thanks in advance for any help.

 

righty tighty lefty loosey.

Make sure that your impact can get plenty of air for maximum power. Use a short large diameter hose to the compressor. Avoid curlycue hoses, they are very restrictive.
