when trying 2 remove the flywheel, which way do u turn does it come off turning counterclockwise like traditionally, or does it come off the opposite way?..im having a hell of a time, im holding the magneto with a strap wrench, so it is not moving, but i cannot get the bolt to budge...any suggestions, and which way does it come off?

 

Without knowing the make and Model, typically counter-clockwise to the left. Get an impact wrench to remove the nut, then you'll probably need a fly wheel removal tool
