To add to this, when you're turning the fan bolt by hand at the end, your helper will likely have to hold the fan in position to allow the bolt to turn freely and not bind.

Then switch to that hex key + box end spanner set up to do several revolutions.
just as depicted in that one thread to break the fan bolt loose. Getting it all the way out was the trick. No matter what tool you choose to use at some point before it is all the way out it will hit into the radiator.
I turned it out the last inch or so with my fingertips and got it started in like that too. Dont forget to clamp the fan pulley with some vise grips while you break the bolt loose. Helps to have a helper hold those vise grips in place while the other twerks.. i mean torques.
