Trying to remove the water pump on my 93 Honda Accord and am having trouble removing the crank bolt.
Is it a reverse thread? Is there a special tool I need to get it off.? It just won't turn.

Hi cat95204,

The bolt is torqued at 150 ft/lbs, normal thread.

Either you have a high torque impact wrench or you need a special tool to hold the pulley.

Make sure you get the timing belts markings correct before removing them. The balancer shaft belt can cause a lot of problem if not correctly installed.
