Harmonic Balancer/ Vibe Damper Bolt direction?

[scottgraham]

....On my kid's '06 Rubicon.
Crank pulley/ HB bolt will not come out, he's tried heat, has been spraying it w/ Liquid Wrench for weeks.
Could he be going the wrong direction?

FSM only says this:
"VIBRATION DAMPER REMOVAL (1) Disconnect negative cable from battery. (2) Remove the serpentine drive belt (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS - REMOVAL) and fan shroud. (3) Remove the vibration damper retaining bolt and washer. (4) Use Vibration Damper Removal Tool 7697"

I saw somewhere that the '05/'06 Cherokee was left hand thread.
Any help greatly appreciated.

My 06 TJ is standard thread, righty tighty, lefty loosey.

And if it is a 4.0 it should be torqued to 80 ft.lb. If memory serves.
