cooling fan removal
Got 4 hrs into trying to get this cooling fan off. Holding the clutch with tool and trying to loosin nut does nothing. The clutch spins independently of the nut/shaft. The belt dosent hold the waterpump shaft/nut enough to loosen fan. Pulled belt and tried a strap wrench on pully, still slips. Any ideas that worked from experience?

Short answer is: Hold the pulley not the clutch. I replied in your other thread as well.
Either use an air chisel on the edge of the nut, hit a 32mm wrench on the end with a steel hammer while the belt is on, or use the proper pulley holder.

I use the sheath off of an axe head.....it is like a thick leather wedge. I stuff it between the hb pulley and belt, in a way so that the more I loosen the fan nut, the tighter the belt gets and effectively holds shaft in place while I turn the wrench.......has worked for me 100% of the time
