OK everybody, more progress. Today I crafted the tool to lock the fan pulley and successfully removed the fan blade. I went to the dollar store and bought a dollar item and bent it into this shape (Wile E Coyote... you are a genius!). See Photo! Works like a charm. Anyway, I tried to pull off the pump pulley, but after removing the three bolts, the pulley wouldn't budge from the pump. The two items are rusted into one piece. Another thing. I think the tensioner is shot. I turned the bolt (that points up towards the sky) clockwise & anti-clockwise all the way, but the belt doesn't seem to completely slack enough that you can just lift it off the pulleys. I had to use a crowbar to pry it out. Its out now, but I am not sure I can put it back afterward. Anyway, I am going to pull out the water pump tomorrow.
