It's just like the others. Counterclockwise to remove. If you have a manual trans, you may be able to hold the engine from turning by putting the car in gear. Otherwise, you'll probably need to take the flywheel cover off and use a prybar to keep the engine from turning.
Are you using a normal ratchet? Have you tried using an impact gun? Worked like a charm for me but be careful it's going in the right direction first.
