I just ordered a new 520 chain/front sprocket . I have a rear 55 tooth sprocket I'm trying to change my front sprocket I can't figure out how to take it off which way do you unscrew the bolt.??

 

lefty loosy righty tighty

 

Yep I can confirm it's regular counterclockwise to untighten, it's not reverse thread. tho I thought it might be it was so hard to crack open the first time.
Some tips:
- Get it off the stand and tie the rear brake down
- Wedge a tire iron wrapped in towel between rear wheel spoke
- Put bike in gear
