Basic question on changing time belt on 230F.

I will have to change the timing belt on a 230F soon. From this newsgroup I've determined that the best way to get the crank pulley bolt off is to use a special tool to hold the crank shaft and simply use a jack on the socket handle to jack it up. The only questions I have left are 1) Which way do I have to turn the socket handle to loosen the bolt. Does this bolt get undone by turning anti-clockwise like a normal bolt? and 2) Can somebody in Oz tell me where I can get this special tool (5824?) and roughly how much does it cost?

Thanks.

Using a jack on a ratchet is a bit foolish. Get yourself a decent breaker bar, and of course a torque wrench for the tightening bit.

A suitable Craftsman torque wrench is about $20.

You need to remove the lower part of the timing belt cover, and to do that you need to remove the pulley.
