They can get very stuck sometimes, to the extent of where it feels like it's not going to budge. Be brave but not ignorant, just keep wiggling and pulling and it will come off.

It turns anticlockwise a few degrees first.

As above you need to turn it anti clockwise first and then you can pull it all out and get to the bulb. Just pulling will break something.
