Just go get yourself the fan clutch tool and make your life easier. Or use a loaner from Autozone or O'Reilly's. It. will include the tool to hold the pulley.

I have never touched ours. I thought it would be like other ones where there are several nuts hold the fan onto the pump. In those I always used another combo wrench or a screwdriver between the bolts to hold the fan in place.

I have the tool kit from Auto zone and none of the 5 tools come close to fitting the nut.
