Well when it comes to Crankshaft Pully Bolt on Honda engines it comes OFF Counter Clockwise & tightens clockwise.....but if you planning to take out the crankshaft pully please keep in mind that in order to tighten it back you MUST have a TORQUE to ensure the required tightness...IF you tighten the Bolt TOO much in time to come the crankshaft pully will wear down & give way (spin freely & wobble) you will have to change the entire crankshaft & crankshaft pully ...i assume you going to change the timing belt...if so & you have limited information of what you about i'll suggest that you have a mechanic present or take it to a professional.... i'm guessing you decided to take the job up yourself to save cost......why i say this cause it happened to me & it's costing me an engine....Yes i had the manual & followed everything but (1) i did not have much experience doing mechanic work (2) i did NOT have the TORQUE tool.....anyway good luck with it & i know you will make the right decision...
