You gotta loosen the big nut that actually holds it on.

Yeah...we have a fan clutch tool kit that had varous sizes of wrenches and a air hammer connection piece. That is the easiest and most efficent way to take it off. You can get a air hammer and a chisel bit and do it that way too. I did mine like that but once it was off I needed some more parts, so I just bought a new nut. I assume the engine is in the truck, so you are pretty limited on what yoou can do. I have done it with both and if your doing it more than a few times its worth the money to buy the correct wrench and assorted tooling to make it happen.
