It will probably be stuck on with heat conductive glue or heat conductive sticky pad.
Try to twist it off but be gentle

tried to heat it up with a hairdryer woudnt budge i was worried i may damage the chip so wont bother fitted a new fan so all should be ok

I would leave the heatsink as it is, if it's well stuck down, it's probably on with a thermal glue pad, over time with the heat the pad will break down, and you could then change it, but i would advise just putting a better fan on, rather than damaging the processor at the moment.
