When I was trying to remove my water pump, I ended up getting the large flat open ended wrench with the 1/2" square drive. It's used to hold the pump pulley steady while I used another really large open ended wrench to undo the big nut on the pump shaft. However, I had to remove the belt first to make room for all these tools. Maybe there was another way to do this, but the belt on the pulley could not hold it steady enough to undo the nut.

I removed radiator to have enougt room for this job. First time I had to remove pump with fan and to remove fan, pulley was griped in vice. Fortunatly now I have electric fan.
