I have done this many times before but can't remember. I figure as it is on the left, then it should be clockwise. But I can't shift mine.
I'm sure the lockring is clockwise.
Any help appreciated.
The bolt or nut securing the crank arm to the bottom bracket spindle is right hand threaded, no matter right or left crankare. Thus, always turn it counterclockwise to remove.
