2UZ Timing Belt Help

I have the front end of the motor torn down on an '03 and cannot get the Crank Pulley Belt off. I'm using a homemade SST to hold the crank pulley with the 2 threaded holes but can't get the bolt to budge.

Suggestions?

Get a buddy/SO to hold the SST while you pull on the breaker bar. Also, soak the bolt with PB Blaster. Sometimes, gentle tapping on the flange around the bolt with a hammer and blunt punch will help break the rust loose.

Dumb question, is it reverse thread?

Probably not, but I've not have this engine apart. There may be a thread around here that answers that question.

Added info: After looking at a few 2UZ TB threads, no one mentioned reverse threaded Crank bolt.


Sometimes trying to tighten (clockwise, righty) a bit will actually help the loosening (counter-clockwise, lefty).
