shimano traditional freewheel disassembly

If someone would please tell me which way to turn (hammer with a screwdriver) the retaining "nut" with two small holes in it which holds the freewheel assembly together I would be most grateful. There is too much slop in the unit for me. I can't remember if the thread is left or right. When I had one apart before it had several spacer shims in it. If I can gert this one apart I plan on taking some of those shims out to tighten up the unit somewhat and add some waterproof constant velocity joint grease as well. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.
