Is the Lexus IS200 1999 Crankshaft pulley bolt thread lefthand or righthand it is very tight any ideas for removing it?

The crankshaft pulley bolt on a 1999 Lexus IS200 is right-hand threaded, meaning it loosens counterclockwise. To remove it, you can try using a breaker bar for extra leverage, and consider applying penetrating oil to help loosen it. If it’s still stubborn, you might use a impact wrench or a crankshaft holding tool to keep the engine from turning while you apply force. Always ensure the engine is secure and take proper safety precautions.
