i've already removed the motor mount but i still have a pulley that seem to be in the way of the bolt attached to the motor mount bracket which is attached to the left side of the engine block. is the pully removed clock wise or counter clock wise, is a torque wrench needed,and how do i isolate the pulley to remove center bolt?

Hi there,

you should have the system pressure tested first as some small leaks are very hard to locate. If all is good with the pressure test you may need to have a CO test to determine if exhaust is entering the cooling system.
