while looking at the front of your truck, the fan clutch nut is a right handed thread. righty tighty, lefty loosey. I just did a waterpump on my truck, I borrowed the wrench kit from advanced auto part. It comes with a wrench that goes over the bolts on the pump pulley.

If you can't get the wrench that spans over the pulley bolts you can try a pair of channel locks pliers or a strap wrench on the pulley itself. I had some luck with a screwdriver jambed into one of the pulley bolts but this has a tendency to slip and bust your knuckles.

Much appreciated help
Thanks everyone finally got it off after I pulled my head out of my exhaust.....
figured out what you meant by the wrench that goes around all 4 pully bolts. That nut is by far the toughest part of this job.....
thanks again
