I couldn't get the fan clutch to separate from the water pump, so I took the water pump out to replace it, but still can not get the fan clutch to separate from the water pump. Any suggestions on how to get it off?

Are you using the wrench for these nuts? I would suggest using a hammer to hit the wrench with to use the shock or the striking to break it loose.

Maybe get a quick video of what you are dealing with and that will give us some more ideas.
