Put the socket and breaker bar on it. Then set it up so the breaker bar is on the floor at the 5 o'clock angle. Then turn the ignition but do not start the car-the point is to turn the motor to loosen the bolt. Easy job, done in 25 min including taking the splash shield off/on.
I read a write up sayin u have to drain a **** load of fluids and crap to move the fan to gain access to it.
LOL... no... you don't have to do that.
I had to remove the fan for more room, but I didn't drain any fluids. The hardest part for me was to remove the pulley itself, after taking out the bolt... It had so much rust, my friend and I were going crazy at it, shaking it for about 30 mins and it finally came off.
