I thought that might be it, but am not sure what direction to untighten.
Looking in the engine from the front, am I turning to the left or right to
untighten? Thanks

using a long screwdriver to hold the pulley boltheads (keep the water
pump/fan pulley from turning) use a 32 (or was it a 34??)mm wrench to break
loose the large fan nut. I eventually resorted to using a pair of channel
locks to break the nut loose, but you gotta have a good grip to keep the
pliers shut on the nut.
