Help with removing primary drive pulley

I am having problems getting the nut on the primary drive pulley loose. My inpact wrench can't seem to break it free. Is this nut a right or left hand thread?

I jammed the pulley with a wooden wedge but it dosen't hold very well. Any suggestions??

Thanks

A drive lock tool is recommended and should make it easier. Jim's and Harley make two types. One is a wedge block with steps. The other is a bar. You need the bar type for the 06 and later models. There are instructions on how to fabricate your own in the forum tech section.
