hi all,
2002 3.8L. i'm having a moment of doubt, is the crankshaft pulley bolt thread just a normal righty-tighty lefty-loosey direction?

Keep the faith ... those are RH (ordinary direction) threads. Its just a lot of torque. I usually use a four foot bar to get started.

...BTW, my 99's harmonic balancer had a space that allowed a 3/8" bar to be used to keep it from turning.
