Another stupid question I should have asked BEFORE I decided to replace my crank, w/p, and alt. pulleys.........WHAT direction are the threads?? Normal ie. counterclockwise......or opposite ie. clockwise on the crank and alt. pulleys as I would be facing them or removing them. I tried "normal", removing them in a counterclockwise direction and NO DICE. Kinda tried the other way but didn't want to break anything so I put it back together.

I FOLLOW THE WORDS OF A WISE MAN I ONCE HEARD...........DE DE DEEEE!!

I stopped before I royally screwed sumthin up.

Thanks fer any help. I may take it to a shop fer this one.

They come off "normally" righty tighty, lefty loosy". They come off easier with an impact gun. Instant torque is the key.

Thanks, Thats what I thought. The gun I was using was a small 3/8 impact, Guess I just need to remove the radiator too and use my 1/2" impact. I bet an early flush 'n fill won't hurt nuthin!
