Removing the idler pulley

Is the bolt to the pulley a reverse threaded bolt or is it a typical bolt that unscrews counter-clockwise?

just did some quick research, i see nothing saying it is. commonly, if a bolt is reverse threaded, its labed/stamped/marked nearby (IE- the radiator fan blade bolt). however the bolts may have locktight on them. if you are having trouble make sure you are using the proper METRIC 6-point socket size, if all else fails, use a breaker bar. if you need more room for clearance, you may want to CAREFULLY unbolt the top mount and lift the engine a few inches.
