Yup, regular counter clock wise and all that, I used a special tool (hammer assisted screwdriver) to take mine off previously. Haven't been able to tighten it up as much as it was first on, it only shook loose once in six years though.

Could try a bicycle bottom bracket tool if it won't come loose with regular tools, I imagine snap ring pliers would be hard to use in this part.
