Attempting a timing belt change on my '94 Mondeo 2.0 Si, but having trouble slackening the crankshaft pulley bolt. Could someone tell me if I should be trying to slacken this bolt in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. I have tried it in both directions using a torque wrench set to 100lbs (I understand the tightening torque is less than this) but can't budge the thing. Would like to turn up the poundage on the torque wrench, but am afraid of shearing the bolt. Any help very much appreciated in advance.
