Does it unscrew clock or counter clock ?
Thanks again for the help

It's a standard thread nut, should be counter clock wise.
It might have been easier to undo with the pump in the car and belt attached. (Sidebar note: this may be why some people recommend AGAINST using the P/S nut to turn the engine in valve adjustments since you now torque down that nut.)
It's important to not damage or distort the pulley. Can you grip the flat part of the pulley with a large crescent wrench or channel-locks?
Do you have a spare belt that you fashion into a strap wrench? Maybe put the belt onto the pulley, clamp it down, hold the clamps and unscrew the nut?
The FSM torque for the nut is 50 Nm.
