how do you seperate the fan clutch from the water pump on a 2001 ford f-150 the nut is to hard to break lose?

Question

the nut that seperates the pump and the fan clutch is hard as hell to break lose without the pulley turning is there a special tool or what or is there a way without bending or warping the pulley

Answer 1

I don't know about cars. A 1/2" air impact wrench will loosen just about everything on a motorcycle.
Like the other guy said, make sure it doesn't have left hand threads. As a general rule of thumb, fasteners should be loosened in the direction the shaft turns while in normal operation.

Answer 2

Check it out carefully it may be left-hand threaded to prevent it from loosening up.

Answer 3

Try to tighten it as that will help break the seal
