You need to get a fan blade removal tool.

Use a big wrench and a mallet. Take the mallet and give the wrench a fast smack on the wrench hitting to the left. It might take 2-3 hits and if the belt slips put a vicegrip on the belt to pulley to lock it. Unscrew the assembly and exchange the clutch. To renstall just screw it back on and tighten it as much as you can by hand & engine torque will do the rest.

This one works fine, thanks!
