Help getting fan clutch off

Is the fan clutch nut a standard turn or is it backwards? Any pointers on how to get it off? Not have much luck with it. Thanks

+1 on the bi wrench and a BFH
I also put a pry bar in between the belt and pulley because I was going put a new belt on after.

I used a 18" adjustable wrench with a fist maul. A pipe wrench will even work in a pinch.
