Maybe you shouldn't be the one changing it if you have to confirm which way to loosen a bolt

 

mine was really stuck on there, i had to use a good sized breaker bar

 

Impact for removing is fine.

 

counter clockwise, like the bolt on the crankshaft, right?

 

Righty tighty, lefty loosy

 

Counter clockwise to loosen. Normal thread.

Try a 17mm key with a "closed"end. Use the closed end on the bolt and hit (not like a maniac) the other end of the key with a hammer several time. The impacts may loosen the bolt. As a tip, keep a little torque counter clockwise on the bolt with the key as you hit it with the hammer. it is easier if the timing belt is stil on so the whole camshaft doesn't rotate (unless you have stock camshaft and you can "pin them in place".
