I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am 3.4 v6 and im changing the timing chain, im trying to get past the crank shaft bolt in the middle of the pulley my car has 105000 miles on it and ive been using breaker bars, torque ratchets, it won't budge, ive been tryin to take it out clockwise im not sure which way to turn it, and if I am goin the right way what would be the best way to get it out it won't budge and im puttin 150 ft. Lbs. Of torque on it, will I need a power torque wrech?

You are turning it the wrong way it comes off counter clockwise like any other bolt. And seeing that you put 125lb of pressure on it you are goin to have to put 200lb for it to move. Everybody makes that mistake!
