Probably is on all series of engines. Definitely is on EA-8x series. Which engine do you have?

DOHC 2.5 I got the bolt off yesterday after fabricating the service tool to hold the pulley. Took a lathe, a mill, and 4 hours, but it won't take nearly so long next time.

Usually, but not always. Fasteners that have left-hand threads (fittings for flammable gas service; propane, acetylene, hydrogen, for example) generally will have a circumferential groove around the nut to let you know that "Lefty" is tight ;-)

ByeBye! S.

Not to mention bicycle pedals.

As for the crank bolt, it's best not to assume when you have to use a 3 foot breaker bar.
