90 Ls400 Fan Clutch Removal Woes

I am replacing timing belt, and have having a heck of a time to remove the fan clutch. I've got the 4 bolts off. It does not slide off -- there's not much details on LEXLS (step 3 on timing belt tutorial) and even on searches here whether that's what is supposed to happen.

There is a spring on the front of the fan: does this need to be pulled?

Basically, removing the 4 bolts has done nothing to the fan clutch.

I tried to remove the whole assembly, but keep discovering new bolts and screws - the cable harness mount has tiny screws that are frozen and no amt of pb / kroil helps that.

I have progressed to step 17 now, and seems like I do need to get the fan clutch off (worked around it this far).

Also, any ideas on step 18? Its a tough one. Impact driver wont fit in the space. Have a handful of breaker bars. Crankshaft keeps turning.

Thanks much.
