As suggested on another forum somewhere, I cut a length of square tube and ran it vertically from the front cross member up to the underside of one of the bolts in the fan. Rotate the fan to lock the tube in place then get your spanned onto the main nut. I had to use a persuasion tool (hammer) to loosen it. Remember it's a reverse thread so you need to loosen clockwise looking from the front. I also needed to trim the end of the tube at the top to allow clearance for the spanner. Once the fan is off its an easy job. You also need a 1/4 socket attachment on a longish bar to lever the tensioner pulley away from the drive belt. There is a square hole on the pull that is for this purpose. Good luck.
