    I wanted to be sure I am not trying to loosen it the wrong way... it isn't
    left hand threads, is it? 2.7 Litre V6.

    TIA

    No, it is RH threads... if you cannot get it lose even with an impact
    wrench, try wedging a long breaker bar (with its socket on the crank shaft
    pully bolt) against the engine mount, kick the starter for a fraction of a
    second, and it comes right lose! Yeay! I had even tried an impact wrench
    running at 125 psi and that hadn't worked.

    crankshaft pully bolt

    i had truobles with the crankshaft pully bolt on my 2002 elantra . tried cordless impact and 1/2 in drive rachet and socket and twisted the end off my 6 inch ext bar . after waiting several hours i tried the starter method... i used a 1/2 drive craftsman ratchet and 22 mm socket and a small leverage bar over the rachet handle and propped it against the axel and kicked the starter . i did a quick 1 or 2 second bump and heard a clankboth times then tried longer and spun the bolt right out . couldnt believe it..... hower in my case the car actualy started and had to quickly shut it down . but no damage again i would not urge a someone with little knowledge of automotive
