How to loosen up a crankshaft pulley bolt on honda civic 95?

Is it clockwise or counter clockwise?

Counterclockwise. Do not use a chain to hold the pulley, though. Even small amounts of backward movement can cause the timing belt to jump a tooth and you can break the pulley. If your pulley has the hex inset as shown in the video of another answer you are much better off getting the right tool for the job - see the source. The source also shows the tool for the other type, and what can happen if you use the chain.

EDIT - I believe your 1995 Civic has the counter-clockwise rotating engine so you can't use the breaker bar and starter bump method.

Watch this video counter clockwise loosens it.

  • Honda pcx crankshaft locks under throttle? My friends pcx blew and the crankshaft seized we un seized it with a breaker bar to find out it spins smoothly but when you open the throttle it cuts out and the crankshaft locks up straight away? Is there a throttle activated oil pump in these or what could it be. I'm used to working on 2t bikes done plenty of rebuilds & as far as 4t bikes I've only done dirt bike engines which aren't fuel injected… Does anyone know?
  • 1994 WMX Husqvarna 125cc needs a crankshaft? Hi I have a 1994 WMX 125 (also referred to a CR 125, WXE 124, ect, ect) its a Husqvarna Cagiva It seems finding a crankshaft for this bike even from 1991-1994 is next to impossible but I've read that honda and husqvarna cagiva shared many dimensions within those years - I do believe the pistons interchange - so is there any chance that the crankshafts interchange?
