About the only special tool I can think of for that job is a fan hub wrench. IIRC its just a 36 mm thin wrench that slips between the fan and the front of the motor. I never use the pully holder as I loosen the fan before I take the belt off.

I just pulled my fan about a month or so ago, I just ground down a wrench and mad eit fit onto the fan nut, and worked good, I put cardboard between the fan and rad so I didn't have to pull the rad. have to pull the fan shroud out with the fan. took the bolts out of the fan hub and fan comes off

I just replaced mine about two hours ago. I used:
  • 13mm socket/combination wrench for the (4) fan shroud nuts
  • 10mm socket/combination wrench for the (1) bolt that holds the fan harness bracket
  • 36mm fan hub wrench (you can rent a kit from Autozone, part number 27018)
  • Fan pulley wrench (you can rent it from Autozone, part number 27270)
You first pull the fan shroud up and in front of the fan blades, out the top. Then, if you haven't already, disconnect the old fan harness bracket. Mine had broken, so the fan was already separated from the harness. Then, use the two tools to spin the fan off, counter clock-wise. I hand spun the fan blades on the hub off next and it fell out the bottom. After I swapped the fan blades to the new clutch, I put the new one in from the top.
