yes lefty loosey is correct but if you could get a hold of air power that would be best, still soak the bolt with a good lube all those years of getting hot then cooling down plus a little rust maybe is going to make it a bear to get off there is a special tool that holds the crank pulley (dont use any other tool or it will break the pulley).
