the crankshaft pulley? its clockwise but its a real bitch to take off. if you have PB blaster and an impact wrench it'll help a bunch.

This was discussed in another thread a little while back but I can't find that thread to link ATM, so I will just say it. If you need to pull the crank damper pulley, make sure you do not use a two or three jaw puller. It can damage the pulley/damper. Instead, get/use a harmonic damper puller. Most auto parts places these tools on a loan-a-tool type deal. Oh, and if you don't have an impact that will put out 250-300 lb-ft of breaking force, you will need a very sturdy strong arm bar and a long pipe to increase the leverage.

CounterClockwise to undo the Bolt looking from the front of the car.......

It "Should" be done up to 195ft/lbs so you'll need some way to stop it turning and a big breaker bar.

Happy to have been of assistance, we don't have "Search Nazi's" here, the staff stomp them soon as they start their shit, now and again if someone has made 0 effort to find something very basic I'll spank them a little but generally I'm happy to answer questions, the time people take to rant about "search ya n00b" could have been spent answering the question.
