OK so I'm replacing my radiator and water pump. Everything is going smooth until I get to the mechanical fan. Can't for the life of me get this thing off. I have been at it for the past two hours and have decided to give it up and see if anyone has any backyard hillbilly way to get this off.
First I tried hitting the wrench with a hammer. That didn't work so then I removed the serpentine belt and tried a strap wrench to hold the pulley and broke the strap. Tried to use my belt (that holds up my pants) and broke my belt. Tried to stuff a couple bolts through the holes in the pulley and bent the bolts. This fawker ain't coming off. Anyone know how the hell to get this off with out specialized tools?
I have searched and unless the answer is buried in some obscure thread the only answer I saw was TJKJ's air hammer and special wrench.
