I have the kit to remove the fan clutch but I can't figure out how to use it. IT is a 1997 GMS Sonoma Vortec V6

Click here. According to this, you do not need the special tools.

The clutch is held on by four extra long bolts that pass through the fan clutch housing, a spacer, and into the water pump spindle housing. Using an open end wrench does it, could be a 1/2", 10ml, or even 7/16" head. My favorite type wrench has a ratchet built into a box head configeration, but sometimes you can't get the box end around the bolt head so you have to use an open end style wrench. Depending on your workable space an offset can help greatly in setting the wrench.

I believe this vehicle has the fan clutch with the hub nut that requires a special tool to hold the pulley while breaking loose/removing the fan hub nut.

Tool looks like this.....


Loosen the hub nut in a counterclockwise rotation..
