Yup, knew about the torque-to-yield, but even my C4 guru friends couldn't answer the righty tighty question. The outer belt groove had moved all the way to the inside belt groove, causing the serpentine belt to jump off the pulley.

Crankshaft pulley removal
I can't believe YouTube came to my aid. Used the starter to remove the pulley bolt. Watched which way the crank turned, and wedged the breaker and socket to a solid surface. Came out slicker than I thought. Just remember to explain twice to your wife that you just want her to bump the starter.

So now I have to ask, how do you plan on installing the new bolt?
