Default front counter sprocket nut direction

Something is off on my mechanical ability today. I can't get the nut off on the counter sprocket! It is a Right hand thread ? I cant get it with using a breaker bar or impact wrench. Can sombudy confirm the rotation direction of the nut please.

Thank You.

Lefty loosey just like a regular nut, impact will work great!

You did remember to straighten out the bent over part of the washer that is helping secure the nut didn't you? If you did that, then like kgwld1 said an impact works great, that's what I ended up using.

It came right off with a air impactwrench. The lock washer was improperly placed on at the factory. The splines of the lock washer was not lined up with the splines of the shaft and so was all bent into the nut when thay buzzed it on at the factory. New nut and lock cost $13.00 and 5day wait. I bent the old lock back into shape so that I can go on the Shelton Valley Dual Sport ride this weekend.
