Default Crank Help Please

Please can you confirm regular left hand thread on the crank bolt removal. I have bars and bolts in the pulley holes to keep the engine from turning and this thing does not want to break loose. I have a four foot pipe on a 1/2 drive ratchet and it won't budge. Just wanted to make sure this comes off in the same direction as all regular bolts.
Thanks for the thoughts
Bob
