Counterclockwise (anticlockwise).

well.. use a proper sized wrench on the nut,
and a makeshift chain wrench on the sprocket with the proper sized chain.

if you chew up the nut with improper tools you'll heading for powertooling the nut off
(with it's own downsides and potentials of ruining the motor)
if you don't get good enough grip on the sprocket it'll take forever to get it off,
with a likely frustrated and swearing YOU using improper force...
again resulting in a potentially ruined motor.

It's easy to crack the face plate cast, or destroy a bearing or both...
so use the best tools you can.. a proper sized wrench is important.

nutrounders (adj. wrench) is never an ideal tool..
and frankly only ever almost good enough if you paid a LOT for it.. a cheap adjustable wrench
does more harm than good.

PS CCW is usually correct.. (an ordinary RH nut) but also as usually there's some thread sticking out to give you a clue

Around here we call an adjustable wrench a "monkey wrench"
...cause if ya use 'em as a "wrench" the nut/bolt is usually gonna get "monkeyed up"

IIRC, the threads on the shafts of these small motors have reverse threads ( left-handed)

Here is a video that may be of assistance

I don't know if it helps but there's a set of flats on the shaft with some of these motors. Mine took a 10mm wrench (or was it 8mm?). But that held the flats while I turned the 13mm nut off. Worked just as well as grabbing with a chain whip or similar wrench/vice grips.
