sorry somehow i double posted sorry

so counterclock wise right ??

and how much pressure shoudl i put before i give up i dont want to break anything

Yes, counterclockwise. Amount of pressure- well, yeah, that is the question. Depends how long it's been on, did they use teflon tape, hardness of the water, etc. It should come off by hand, even if it takes a lot of pressure. You can get a little extra leverage by placing a screwdriver, or some other handle type device into the spout. Go slow. You should not need a wrench.

counterclockwise, wrap something like a cloth around spout then use pipe wrench.

cloth minimizes damage if for some reason you cant find replacement spout

note: if you have a problem finding the replacement diverter spout, just plug it and all the water will go to the showerhead. maybe it's a washcloth and a bungee cord while you wait for a plumber. or a temporary installation of a pipe nipple with a ball valve. you can look at quite a variety of plumbing parts in the virtual catalog at:
