ive got to change that timing belt B.. but i dont know which way to turn the bolt on the crankshaft to loosen it..

is it clockwise to loosen? or counter clockwise?

also, how hard is that sprocket to remove once ya have that nutt off?

im just using 5th gear to hold the crankshaft, conat wait for the "special tool" and have no means by which to make it myself :(
 
its counter clock wise and the sproket pretty much falls off when you get the nut off...good luck though cuz that nut is a pain in the A$$
