Right hand,
Here is A little known trick to getting it lose, First, bE careful: Put A wrench or socket on it, (do not use an extension), Make sure it is on really good, And against something that will not move like the body support. Get everyone away from the engine area just in case. Use the starter to turn the motor, The starter has the power to breah the bolt lose.
Do not I repeat DO NOT use the starter to break the crankshaft bolt loose on a 1.8L Honda engine or any engine in a Honda or Acura. The engine turns counter-clockwise and the bolt is right hand which will in turn tighten the bolt or break it which is not what you want. The info above is bad advice.
yes on allmost all hondas' the timing bolt on the crank are reverse threaded
Usually the crankshaft is made of harder metal than the bolt, so you should be able to just replace the bolt. But who knows for certain until you try.
It is right hand tread.
Jack the motor up and take the motor mount loose on the top right side. Carefully lower the motor down until you see the crankshaft bolt on the bottom. Then take the center bolt off the crankshaft and then the pulley will come off.
220 foot pounds and put sealer on the bolt theads to prevent oil from wicking up the threads
With a pneumatic impact gun.
No they are right handed righty tighty, lefty Lucy threads. The bolt is in there pretty tight though so it can be hard to get out with hand tools. Most of the time when you pull on it hard enough to lossen it you will spin the motor before it comes loose. You will probably need an impact wrench or find some way to keep the motor from rolling over.
The crankshaft bolt torque specification is 240 pounds of pressure. The crankshaft bolts should be torqued in 60 pound intervals.
no it is not left handed,some times just a real pain getting off.
It is right hand thread. Turn counter clockwise to loosen.
Not all crankshaft pulley bolts are left hand thread. In my experience if it is a left hand thread the bolt head normally has an L stamped on it to notify the direction of thread
the crankshaft sensor is behind the cylinder head on the top of the bell-housing (where the motor and transmission bolt together)
