Wow, trying to get flywheel nut off. Engine is out so leverage is a bit of a problem,
But really the problem is cw or ccw to remove the nut?
Any help ?

Way out of my league, but have you tried an impact tool?

Left handed nuts usually have indicator marks indented on all six faces of the hex. If no markings, it's probably normal ( right handed ) threads which means turn left to unscrew.

There Lefty loosy!
also use a bar or heavy duty
Screw-I-Driver (one of my apprentice's name for screwdriver dam kids)
and wedge it in the clutch for leverage when u remove it. An impact driver works best tho. You will also need a flywheel/harmonic balancer puller to remover the flywheel after that.
my 2 XLT tripples have the same flywheel.

Got it!. It was standard thread.
It was hard to read, threads and nut were flush. so i took a bolt and a nut and put nut on flush and was able to figure it out.
