I need to remove the crankshaft for repair from this Dennis Z type. Does anyone know how to remove the gear?

The starting handle dog screws onto the crank and as it is cranked in a clockwise direction it is likely to be a conventional right hand thread.

Thank you for your reply, that gave me the confidence to give it some welly. I took out the starting dog pin and put a bolt through it which gave me something to grip and turn off the starting dog assembly which is threaded right hand conventionally like you said. Thank you. I will put up some picture of the machine when its done.
