Which way to loosen the nut??
Can anyone tell me which way i need to turn this nut to loosen it? Is it enough to use impact wrench to loosen it? Or is it something more i need to have in mind before i loosen it?
thanks for answers

Left,counter clockwise to loosen. It's probably got red locktite on it,so a little heat from a torch[on the head of the bolt] will be needed. the clutch hub nut will be a left hand thread[clockwise to loosen].

I believe you have that backwards bob. That nut loosens clockwise. I used a breaker bar, no torch needed.

It's a small wonder that anyone EVER gets any real help here.
OP, the correct answer was the first one.
I use a breaker bar in lieu of a rattle gun. That's the end of the crankshaft.

It takes an incredible amount of effort but it will eventually break loose.

Don't know why you are so annoyed.......?
You are the one who corrected someone's reply, with misinformation.... you should be apologetic, not annoyed....
