Default Opti Help!!
well ive pretty much taken the front of the engine apart.. i cant get to the bottom bolt that holds the opti itself on. Do i have to take off the crank pulley?? ive already taken off the A.I.R. solenoid thingy, water pump/hoses, and the intake.. does anything else need to be removed?? thanks.

What he said. Take the three bolts off the front of the damper and it will come off the crank hub without a puller.
