Counter Rotating Engine

[firstpft]

I have a counter rotating 305 and need to pull the harmonic balancer. Before I bust the bolt turning it in the wrong direction, is the bolt on a counter rotating engine an opposite thread than it would be on a standard rotating engine? In other words " a left handed thread compared to a right handed thread?

Thank you Bondo and AllDodge! Your insight has helped build my confidence as I go beyond anything that I have tried to tackle before. I think I will benefit from these forums.
