Crankshaft pulley right hand or left hand thread

[greenrover]

In the middle of a timing belt job for a friends 100 series.
His impact gun isn't getting the job done and we want to try to use the starter bump method.
Don't want to twist off the bolt in the crank.
Can someone tell us real quick if the bolt is right or left hand threaded.
Thanks much.

Should be standard right hand thread. I had to upgrade to a 3/4" drive impact gun and 3/8" air connectors to get mine off with the impact gun - sometimes Harbor Freight is a great place to have around.

Thanks, just did it and worked like a charm!
**Note to anyone else doing this on a newer 100 series with the tip key type starting it has. Practice a few times turning the key to start and back to off real quick. Otherwise it wants to keep cranking all by itself.
