They are usually in there pretty tight. If drivable, you can have someone loosen it up with a shop air gun.
Thread is not reverse.
There is a second way to remove it...Use a solid 1/2" breaker bar with the correct size impact socket. You need to support it and brace it against the floor. Then "bump" the engine over Don't crank, just bump. The engine crank will unscrew itself from the bolt. Be careful doing this if socket and bar get loose they can damage you and stuff around the area where you're working. I use a pipe driven into the ground with a pair of vise grips attached to the breaker bar to keep it at the right height. (bar goes inside the end of the pipe)

- You need a pulley puller for damper pulleys. (assumed you had one) You can usually borrow one or rent one from larger parts houses.

- Never saw a seal fall out either but the way they make stuff today nothing surprises me anymore!!! Put a little rtv black around the outside so if the seal bore is a bit oversized it dosen't leak.
good luck and don't forget to rate my wonderful and exciting answer!! rating on upper right of answer box.
Good luck!!
