Hi..hope this helps.
To remove the fan clutch on my 2006 I used 24inch adjustable wrench for $19 from a well know discount store. A good old 4lb hammer. And about a 30inch length of wood. Here is the trick. Cut a length of 1.5 by .75 timber long enough to rest on the swaybar bracket and reach the fan pulley. Put a 1/4inch bolt through the wood at one end and push it into one of the holes in the fan pulley, this jams the pulley... a quick tap on the wrench an off it comes.....unless mine was a fluke. 2006 1500 Quad Cab Custom 5.7L HEMI...First red Jan 2007 20,600 miles K&N int 4inch pipe, Aero Exhaust 3030 + Aero Resonator, Dual 2.5inch outlets with 24in resonator tail pipes, Pacesetter LT Headers Viper Fan with DCC Controller 195 stat, Groundforce Drop Shackles, 1 set of Spring Clamps, Elderbrock IAS Rear Shocks, Hellwig Swaybar, Drilled and Slotted Front Rotors with ceramic pads,BedRug, Phillips Extra Vision Bulbs Killian Big Valve Heads, 268 cam, R/T inlet manifold, SCT Hemifever, Wideband, AMSOIL. |

...what i do wen I did mine and others for cam installs is also used the big adjustable wrench...but I just used a phillips screwdriver and inserted it in one of the holes in the pulley and jammed it against the water pump and just did a quick grunt to loosen...

Hemi4ever made a kewl little tool for the clutch fan to easily remove it with a large crescent wrench.

What we do is take the air chisel and give it a quick tap, then it just spins off, no wrenches involved and it takes all of 45 seconds.

i used a small board that i drilled two holes in 3 inches apart. then i put two bolts in the holes i drilled out. the bolts will now align with the holes in the fan pulley. hold the board steady while you use a crescent wrench and turn counterclockwise. it came off very easy.
