Get a large enough wrench on that nut and give it a few whacks with a rubber mallet. Should come right off. If it's stubborn, take a light duty propane torch and heat the nut up really good to loosen up the thread locking compound and try again. You might also want to hang a towel on the fan blades should your hand slip. Those blades can be sharp.

put some tension on the belt to hold the pulley and turn the fan to the left as hard as you can. be carefull and dont cut yourself on the fans. should back right off
