I am attempting to replace the timing belt, but am having trouble figuring out which way the special bolt on the crankshaft pulley comes off. The operation is counter clockwise - which is opposite most engines, so does that mean that the special bolt would also be the opposite of what one would normally think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also I was wondering how I could get in touch with an administrator as I had to reset my password and now I can't change my password. I just keep getting a 'special error code'.

tprelude,
In my experience, these bolts are often very tight, and you'll likely have a hard time getting it off. If you have an impact wrench, this will help tremendously. The suggested torque for the crankshaft pulley bolt is 83 ft/lbs when you need to put it back on.

My mistake! After some more research, porterj5 is right. You loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt is has normal threads.
It's been so long since I've done it myself, so I couldn't remember, but the documentation I have lists that bolt as being a special bolt.
I searched around though, and the consensus is that that bolt can be loosened by turning it counter-clockwise. Sorry for my error, tprelude. I guess I shouldn't always trust the manual 100%.
