My brother in law is trying to replace his timing belt on his 1999 accent, We have both tried to remove the crankshaft bolt both with an impact gun and a large breaker bar, Can anyone confirm that the bolt is threaded standard or reverse rotation? and what is the torque for the bolt? I am afraid that any more attempts and we will break it

 

good question its a right handed not left handed
I have been going at mine with half inch impact wrench at 150 psi (all I can go on my compressor)and nothing
I wanted to try breaker bar but the engine turns backwards its an automatic what I need is a tool to hold pulley then try breaker bar I would make a tool with bolts or prongs to hold inside of pulley but I am afraid it will mangle pulley
