I don't have it in front of me but it sounds like that's the right way (CCW that is)... It'll probably take a bit of elbow grease if its been on there for a while.

Re: HELP: How to remove backing plate

Thanks guys. You're all correct. Yes, it does have the spacer
It did just require a little bit of elbow grease. After it was done, I cleaned the threads, and put a bit of anti-seize so it won't be that hard to turn next time
So, it was turning the BP CCW while holding the nut in place
