Default Cant get tensioner pulley off SC300

ok, i saw the other threads discussing this, but the one which shows replacing your bearing with the 6203 2rs bearing are all sc400 people. i am looking at it and i think the bearing is the same size, but no matter how much i torque it to the right it wont come loose.

i dont want to break it before i find out its not a left hand thread on the sc300. can someone confirm which way you turn it to get the damn thing off.

when i turn it clockwise it releases the tension and according to the thread with the sc400's this is the direction i keep turning to get the bolt off. it seems that any more pressure will damage my spring. someone please help before i loose all daylight. thanks.

I see you have an sc300 so while facing the front of the car, the bolt should turn counter-clockwise. While sitll facing the front of the car, that means if you had a ratchet on it with its handle sticking up, you would push that handle to the left. If you are turning and it releases the tension, you are turning the wrong way.
