Yall are doin it the hard way :) Keep the belt on, find a big stout long
screwdriver (flatblade). Place the tip on the left side of the nut and hit
with a good sized hammer. An air hammer works like a champ, in lieu of the
two former. Only takes a few whacks to loosen the nut, then spin it off by
hand.

There is a big nut on the fan (36mm) A 1-7/16 will work, but is a little
loose. You have to loosen that nut to remove the fan and clutch from the
pulley. It is right hand thread. A strap wrench works well to hold the
pulley. Then remove the fan shroud and fan including clutch together. You
don't want to remove those four bolts to remove the fan. Also, keep the fan
and clutch upright. According to the FSM, you will damage the clutch if you
lay it down.
