Actually the tool i have is an attachment for an air hammer. It comes with a wrench with a slot cut in the side of the handle area and you hook the air hammer attachment into the slot and give it a quick rap (with the belt still on to hold the pulley). Pops the big nut loose instantly so you can just spin the fan off in a matter of seconds. works great.
