Re: [DML] Oops!!!!

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.
