Fan will not come off clutch

[CaptainXL]

Hey guys. I am trying to take my fan clutch out but the fan will not come apart from the clutch after removing the fan4 bolts. Is there some kind of trick?

did you remove it completely from the egine bay before taking the 4 bolts out, by taking the big nut off that we all dread doing, by either the "dead blow" method or an air chisel

I got it. Tried to take it out without removing the shroud. Lol.
