I need to get timing cover off of my 3.0 duratech. I have the first pull off ( left hand thread easy enough). the next peice is where i am stuck. the part that is threaded into the balancer itself is it right or left hand thread? then the bolt that goes in to the crank itself right hand or left hand thread( my guesss is right like most)
