is the crank pulley reverse threaded?
My dad came by to look at my car and try to replace the water pump. He told me he couldnt get the crank pulley off and to make sure it wasnt reverse threaded before we just yank the hell out of it. thanks for the help

Yeah it can be a real bitch. In my experiences it just popped right off with an electric impact, both times. But I've heard some horror stories of people spending hours trying to pull it
Breakerbar and a big *** cheaterare your best friends if you dont have access to an impact

yahm i couldnt even get it off with an impact wrench, atleast ur engine is in the car, mine was out, i had to use a half inch breaker bar, with a 8 ft peice of pipe over it, then i just had to bounce the rod and it loosened it eventually. that is after i sheared a 1/2 to 3/8 converter in half.

They make a tool to hold the crankshaft, it makes the job easy.I got mine off a tool truck.
