Taking off the crank pully...
about a month ago, i attempted to replace the timing belt on my car.. everything went smooth until i approached the crankpully..in order to take it off, you need to undo a nut.... HOWEVER, this thing was soooooooooooo tight.... i could not undo it.. i even jumped on the breaker bar and it still wouldn't budge..... anyways,.. my question is.. is the nut a right hand thread or a left hand thread?

Re: Taking off the crank pully...
crank pulley is regular thread...just like any other bolt.
I hope you don't have the problem I had...someone lock-tight'ed it in. if you do, its new-bolt time for sure...if you don't have to rethread the freakin' crank.
Best of luck with it!

The torque on this bolt is also monstrous.You'll need a good socket and a heavy ended hammer.Its imperative to lock the crank solid,short hard hits are the only way to go
Why do you want to undo it?

I've heard what people do to break it free so you can spin it off is to put your breaker on it, extend it with some pipe and anchor it to something strong so it doesn't move. Then get behind the wheel and crank the key for a fraction of a second. That is usually enough to break it free so you can remove the rest with your ratchet or wrench.
I haven't done it personally, but I know of a few people who have done this.

HANG ON A SEC! your doing belts?? there is absolutely no need to remove the balancer to do this.Infact the only reason its ever removed is to pull the engine down.
Why are you removing it?

Are you serious? 10 years ago,a "Toyota Super technician"
told me the balancer can stay on??
This was because mine had worked loose just after warranty and they denied having touched it.
They said,even when they do belts,they dont have to touch it!
I had never really thought about it..now I realise I have only ever attacked 1 out of the car.I usually have bigger problems that belts
I do apologise.
To loosen the balancer in car,place a spanner on the subframe somewhere and kick it over.
