Cam Pulley Bolts

[rmcphearson]

I am trying to remove the camshaft pulleys on my "97 sc300 and the bolts are too tight for my impact gun to loosen. I have tried them in both directions and I'm not sure if they are standard or left-hand thread. The OEM repair manual does not mention which direction.

HELP! I am stuck here at the shop tonight and need to get this done now.

Well, I got in touch with a local Lexus tech and got it done. standard thread, just tight as a nun's c$%t.
