Does the fan and clutch come off with the large nut behind the fan and clutch assembly?

I believe it is a 35 or 36mm bolt that is behind the clutch / fan. It bolts the fan / clutch to the waterpump. You need to remove it and the fan and clutch will come off.

NOTE: There is a special tool that is used. However I have never had any luck with them. I use a large crescent wrench with a dead blow hammer to loosten it. After about the 3rd or 4th his, the bolt usually comes loose. If you have other questions, let me know.
