left hand threads on the bolt that holds it on!...changed it today

 

how long did it take you to figure it out???? lol!!!

 

well it could have been solved much quiker if someone here could have replyed to my posts like you kindly did with a one liner...and i did email a few guys (here as well)and they did not know!...the mechanics that did it for me were very greatfull that i suggested it could be a left hand thread which raised there eyebrow...could have been a snapped off bolt other wise...dont see the humor in that!

 

No, if you took it to a mech there's no humor in that. Sorry about your misfortune, but at least you got your stroke!!

 

I never saw an earlier post about this, but I don't think I would have been able to help as I wouldn't have known either. I know fan clutches are left-handed threads, wouldn't have had a clue about the pulley. I've had a "few" instances where I could not get the bolt loose, and just out of curiosity tried it as a left-handed thread and it worked.
