It just unscrews in the normal direction. Two tricks: Remove the muffler and use an air-powered impact wrench. This usually works. Heat the nut with a torch first. It probably has red loc-tite on it. Another trick - A long extension bar - I use the 5-foot one that I have for door adjustments. I put a screwdriver thru the flywheel to lock it in place (my engine was out of the car). You may need to remove the starter to do something like this, or find a way to block the clutch from rotating from underneath (there are two side holes in the bellhousing). Is yours an automatic or manual?

I was wondering if anyone would tell me the easiest way to get the nut off of the crackshaft pully. It just spins around and around when I try to loosen it. Also, do I turn it counterclockwise to loosen it? Thanks yall.
