Don't know how big the nut is, but loosening it is not the problem, twisting the end of the crank stud off is the real danger! Doesn't matter which way you turn it, just don't get crazy with a cheater bar! "Most" crank bolts are right hand thread, but better look at the threads, don't take my word for it.
