I'm tryin to put on my under drive pulleys for a 97 GT, I'm not sure if the bolt to the crank goes clock wise or counter clock wise to take it off. I've tried both ways and it just turns the crank.

If it's a manual then put the car in 5th gear to hold the crank in place.

Yep! Use a long torque wrench, breaker bar, or wratchet with a pipe slipped over it to get the leverage needed to break it free

Do you need a balancer remover tool or is it just loosening the bolt and remove/replacing? If no special tools are involved I might be up for a set of UD pulleys.

you need a "three bolt" pulley remover tool! Most "hook" type remover tools will have too thick-hooks to fit between the pulley and timing cover. I got two of them for $9.95 each or so at Autozone, don't bother asking the employees, usually they are morons (not any of you autopart store employtees of course ), just look through EVERY rack in the tool section.
