So I need to pull my crank pulley to change the oil seal. I tried once but could not get the nut to come loose. Is it reverse or standard thread?

The Large center bolt holds the Timing Belt Teeth Pulley to the crank. The 4 10MM bolts (I thought they were 12MM?) hold the Water Pump/AC Belt pulley to the crank. When you take those 4 bolts off the pulley will just slide right off.
I just went and checked and you are correct, the 4 bolts which attach the harmonic dampener (crankshaft pulley) to the crankshaft sprocket are 12 mm. My post has been corrected.
Um, if you just want to take off the pulley there only are 4, 12 mm bolts holding it on. The large bolt in the center does NOT hold the harmonic dampener (crankshaft pulley). It holds the crankshaft sprocket to the actual crankshaft.
Haha. Yes...please clarify. Are you JUST removing the Pulley, or are you trying to remove the entire assembly from the end of the crank?

Can't very well change an/"the" oil seal by only removing the crank pulley.
