To remove the bolt, you will have to turn counterclockwise.
And the pulley needs to be secured so when you turn the bolt, the pulley does not turn.

Here is a helpful guide of how to remove the pulley:

When installing the bolt needs to be torqued at 109 ft. lb.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
