Can't get the fan off the water pump!!! Please Help.


So I have a 96 explorer 5.0l in the stand now. I am trying to get the fan off. I've never delt with them before I'll put up a couple pics. I borrowed a strap wrench from work in case I need it. I've tryied everything I can think of. Maybe on thing I tried was right and it didn't break loose, I don't know.
Realy appreciate some help.

IIRC those dont have the 4 bolts that hold the fan on. I believe there is a big nut right in the center of the fan that screws on to the front of the pump. They make special fan tools for these its like a 3 inch wrench thats really thin. that holds the 4 bolts that hold the pulley on and then one to use on the fan nut. Or the easy way is to use an air chisel and get on the edge of the nut and hit it a few times to break it loose, then see if it will spin off by hand. This thing is a right handed thread btw so righty tighty lefty loosey!
