This is an excellent opportunity to remove the radiator, AC condensor, and charge air cooler and pressure wash all the dirt, bugs, sediment out from the reverse side.
When those are out of the way it is like standing in front of the engine while on a work stand.

Oh no Rick. YOU get to have all the fun. New Sticks, New Turbo and a spanking new BTS. Most of us are jealous of you.

I assume that since you are using a strap wrench, you have taken the belt off. I made the same mistake. The only way that I could get the fan off after having done that was to wrap the fan pulley with a belt and lock a chain wrench on top of that (the belt prevents the chain wrench from damaging the pulley), use a pipe wrench on the fan "nut" and hit it with a hammer. It was enough to get the fan broken loose and then it came right off.
