Title: Help! Quick Crankshaft Question
Post by: DipStick on October 26, 2007, 02:06:00 PM

Is the big Crankshaft Pulley Bolt on the M42 normal or reverse threads?  Seems the only thing that I can confirm is that it is definitely stuck...Just want to know for sure before I pull out my really big cheater pipe :D  Thanks for your time!
