Red face RemoveFan/cluch SOL

I am trying to remove a fan/clutch assembyto install a new electric fan kit, however I am using 36 mm ioen ended wrench and to guys hld the fan as i hammer wrench, been doing this for over 30 minutes.
I feels like it is about to loosen up but then gets tighter. I thing we have made a full turn (counter-clockwise) and seems we are no making it no where. Looks like about to strip out shaft the open ended wrench is on. About to take a sawzall and hack it off any help would be great.
It is a 2003 2500 Cummins. THis sucks and i am on vacation. Any help would be great. Stock clutch is frozen up and eating my gas mileage and belt. Thanks

At least on the older trucks the fan is reverse thread. Try going the other way.
