    the radiator fan? the one stuck on the engine? You need a thin-ish 32mm wrench to go over that nut on the inside of it between it and the fan clutch itself. Just set it over the nut and give it a couple good smacks and it should loosen up.

      it's reversed threaded if you didn't know already. So whack the wrench opposite dir. to loosen

        Fixed that for you.

        Or, you could buy the special holding tool. It is left hand threads. Turn opposite from normal for loosening.
