removal of front sprocket

[LA]

Hey, I'm replacing a chain and sprockets. I know the torque value for replacement of the front sprocket, but the manual just says "remove front sprocket". Facing the sprocket, does it loosen/release in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction. I tried using a breaker bar and had no luck. I'll use a pneumatic wrench to take it off. I don't want to try in the wrong direction. 

Thanks,
LA
