i am changing my timing belt on my 94 civic and i am having trouble taking out the crankshaft pulley, i already cut off all the other belt so i cant hold it with those,what is the best way to take it out without messing anything up?Also i will like to make sure if the bolt on the pulley is a reverse thread . is it or not?

Take the cover off the bottom of the transmission housing where the flywheel is and jam a big flat head screw driver between the upper part of the housing and a tooth on the flywheel. That's what I always do.
If it is on the driver's side, it's not reverse threads.

first problem i see is you cut belts when could have just loosen bolts and to remove lower pulley you remove bolts and use a gear puller could have used belt to help hold it keep it from spinning if you cant turn it one way try the other and air tool wil help since that nut is tight might need a big bar to pry with or a big hammer to beat of tool with or whats called a breaker bar
Honda crank pulley bolts are extremely tight. On the front of the balancer around the bolt you will notice a six sided hole that is designed for a special tool to hold the crank still while you loosen the bolt. If you do not have this tool the this will be extremely difficult to remove without an air impact wrench. If you get it off you will need a puller to actually get the balancer off.
right hand threads .you gonna need a very strong impact gun like the IR231 impact gun, good luck.
you need a mechanic. if you do manage to get the crank pulley off and get the valve timing wrong on reassembly you are going to cause serious engine damage. abort now.
