What exactly is the problem? Is the engine turning over when you try to loosen the bolt on the clutch shaft?
You can either:
a) Rent a fan clutch removal tool from NAPA, etc. This allows you to grab the pump pulley while you loosen the clutch shaft with a 1 1/8" wrench or a pipe wrench. Standard counterclockwise to loosen.
b) Hit a corner on the clutch shaft bolt with an air chisel and back it off.
c) Get creative with a C-clamp.
Hope this helps.
