crankshaft pullys

[snirt]

hello,i am fixing a yt 3600 and i need to replace the case gasket as it is leaking,anyway..ive got the muffler off and the belt off, i'm assuming that i need to get the pullys off the front of the motor to get the case off,  my question is how do i get the nut off first because the shaft turns when i try...even tried cordless impact..wich way does it go?? please help snirt.

Pretty sure it's CCW to get the nut off...you'll have to find some way to stop the rotation of the pulley to get it off.
