the bolt is normal right hand thread, anticlockwise to loosen it. and yes you can bolt in to the pulley to hold it, sealey do such a tool. or if its in the car put it in top gear and get a mate to hold the brakes on hard while you undo the bolt. you may need a longer bar to undo it though?

you won't undo that bolt with a ratchet.
go buy a cheap £20 power bar and do what davegreen said.

Is the gearbox and clutch still on? If not,u could always have 2 of the flywheel bolts a couple of turns in and get a mate to hold a solid bar or something inbetween the two bolts to hold it whilst you undo bolt
