Replacing my water pump

I am having trouble getting the big nut off of my 92 4.9. It's the one that holds the fan and clutch on. Any ideas?

I guess I'm going to NAPA and buying the notorious "clutch fan wrench". Somewhere on here I read about this but a search provided no help.

just use any wrench that fits. leave the belt on, and remember that it is backwards threads

I don't know if its the same for you, but FYI, around here at autozone, you can "borrow" a wrench, pay the full price for it, then return it and get your money back. Basically, if you got the cash up front, you can borrow a wrench for free, not a bad deal if you ask me
