First, the neg. battery cable should be removed from the battery, the appropriate belts should be removed, the rad should be drained to at least as low as the bottom of the water pump's lowest point, and the top rad hose should be removed.

Then the fan shroud bolts should be removed.

The fan and clutch should be attached to the water pump hub by a large threaded nut.

If the fan clutch itself needs to be dissassembled, or if the water pump pulley bolts can't be accessed with the fan present, then wedge a prybar or long screwdriver between the pulley bolts to prevent the fan turning and, using the appropriate size wrench, turn the large nut counterclockwise to loosen and remove it.

If the water pump pulley bolts can be accessed then remove them and pull out the fan assembly and the fan shroud together.

Installation is the reverse of removal. Don't forget to put the shroud and fan back in together.

If Possible Get rid of your Clutch Fan and go Electric! But to answer the question, remove serpentine belt and use a strap wrench to stop clutch from spinning when you try to remove fan clutch nut from water pump!
