Fan/clutch assembly
Hey guys,
Trying to get the fan and clutch setup off the front of my engine. I took the four bolts off the fan so it's loose now (so I could get my radiator shroud and radiator off). I can't turn the bolts on the pulley without turning the pulley itself. Any suggestions on how to get this off?

Try to get something under the belt at the pulley to provide some tension. And find a wrench that you can hit with a dead blow to jolt them free. On some really frozen bolts I have gotten out the impact wrench, which works very well, but is cumbersome in that space.
