The nut is right hand thread if I recall correctly. There is a keyway in the crank....it will remain there as the pulley comes off. The pulley should not slide off easily....if it does you have another problem.
There was an instruction years back re the torque on that nut. If it is too low, then the pulley will eventually wear the keyway slot on the crank and on the pulley, resulting in you having to remove and repair or replace the crankshaft.
