The pulley bolt is out!!!

(This post must be a some sort of record for the OP posting 3 straight times.

)

This is what I did.
It my desperation, I turned the bolt the counter-clockwise and it came off.
The bolt WAS NOT LEFT-HAND fastened at all. It was a good old, "righty tighty lefty loosy."

I am a bit confused as there are MANY how-to-articles on NET that state the bolt is left-hand.
Here is one. https://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/replacingyouralternator

I will upload the picture of the bolt that clearly shows the cross-section contraction as the result of the tensile load I was giving it.

Thanks for the silent support.
