I'm having trouble removing the bolt holding the pulley onto the crankshaft. IS IT LEFT HAND THREAD.
Also, what specialized tools may I need once I get beyond this bolt and pulley.
Thanks.

You don't need any speciality tools. The only tool I would recommend if you can't get the crank pulley off would be a honda crankshaft holder tool. Which locks the crankshaft pulley so you can remove the bolt with a breaker bar.

And the bolt is not a left handed thread, so it comes out just like every other bolt on the vehicle. It's just on REALLY tight.
