Need to replace timing chain cover, I'm down to the harmonic balancer.
First, is the center bolt threaded witch way? And how do you stop the spinning to get
the darn thing off?

the bolt is standard thread. counter clockwise to loosen

we use air guns to release the bolt. it is torqued to about 200 lbs
