Thanks for catching that! I've updated the image to show the correct direction.

Yep.

Basically put a wrench on the pulley bolt like in the picture above, have the wrench orientated just like in the picture and push down towards the bottom of the car. It should be obvious once you start to apply pressure. It does not require much force but be careful because again it is spring loaded so it could snap back and fling the wrench in your face.
