How do you remove a harmonic balancer on a 2002 Buick rendezvous that has a striped head which way does it go left or right?

To remove the harmonic balancer on a 2002 Buick Rendezvous, first, ensure you have the proper tools, including a harmonic balancer puller. If the bolt head is stripped, you may need to use a bolt extractor or try to grip it with locking pliers. Typically, the harmonic balancer bolt is tightened to the right (clockwise), so you'll need to turn it left (counterclockwise) to remove it. Always refer to a service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications.
