HONDA CIVIC

I have a 92 civic 1.5L dx 4dr. And my water pump went out.I have disconnected the following. Power steering pump, all belts including alternator as well as ps. Belt.I have also removed the top half of my timing belt dust cover. In the process of removing the bottom half I realized that I needed to remove the crank pully before removing the bottom half of the dust cover. My question is as follows. How do I (now that I have romoved all of this so far)remove my crank pully. Because I cant get the bolt to budge. Do I need to turn it a different way.I have been using the righty tighty-lefty loosey method and it isnt working. Thank you signeddesparate.

Yes lefty loosey is correct but if you could get a hold of air power that would be best, still soak the bolt with a good lube all those years of getting hot then cooling down plus a little rust maybe is going to make it a bear to get off there is a special tool that holds the crank pulley (dont use any other tool or it will break the pulley).
