I found the easiest way to get that clutchfan off is to wrap a towell around the pulley and use a small pipe wrench on the pulley then break it loose and your all good takes approx 30 sec

I used a strap wrench on the pulley and a normal wrench (loaned from Autozone). Only downside was that when it finally loosened up the wrench slipped. Good thing my face caught it.

Someone always has a set lying around. There's also a website (can't remember the name) that lists vehicle parts for sale from various junk yards. Hopefully, someone will chime in and tell us the website.
