I am trying to remove the old pump. I have the radiator out, as well as the shroud. I can't get the fan/fan clutch shaft separated from the water pump shaft. My shop manual shows a big honking wrench (they call it a fan pulley holding wrench) hold the pulley steady while another wrench loosens the fan shaft.
My problem is that there is no flat on the pulley or water pump shaft for me to get the fan pulley holding wrench on. The pulley is perfectly round, and the water pump shaft is round. No flats.
I have the fan pulley holding wrench that I checked out from my outparts store.
I tried a strap wrench on the pulley, but it won't hold.
Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your time.
