Talking Rebuilding rotary engine

Hello,
Alright my question is I need to know how to remove the bolt in the front plate that is screwed to the eccentric shaft? Here is the problem I tried taking the bolt off, but it just keeps turning along with the eccentric shaft,there is the no flywheel in the rear plate and no screw on the rear eccentric shaft.I am getting really aggravated at this.Please help how do I remove this? I have a monkey wrench on the back of the eccentric shaft and a craftsman ratchet on the front eccentric shaft and it keeps stripping the eccentric shaft.O, do I go lefty loosie, righty tighty or the opposite to remove?lol...

Make sure you look into setting the endshaft play before tightening that bolt back up

If you dont have a impact, go to the flywheel and hold the flywheel witha screwdriver or something as you loosen that bolt
