Need to know if the large bolt in the center of the pulley I need to remove is counterclockwise or regular clockwise. Thanks so much for your help!

Hello, I'm Danny.

It is counterclockwise and should be either 19 or 22 millimeter socket for size. Let me know any other information you need for this question at all.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Good morning,

It is a standard bolt that release counter clockwise but is very tight. I suggest using an air gun or a strong electric gun.
