viscious fan

my w202 c250td has one of these damn fans that i can seem to get off..according to the haynes manual, its " simple a case of making a tool to hold two of the water pump pulley bolts and the using a 36 mm spanner, undo the big nut pulley side of the fan..I dont have a big nut, and even if i did it would be possible to get the tool in as i cant get the bolts out enough to with draw them . What i do have is an eight mm allen bolt on the "fan"side i`ve taken the radiator out. Is it a matter off some how jamming the water pump pulley and turning this allen bolt?(clockwise/antoclockwise) It must be ****** tight as i`ve already ruined one allen key. Also my t-stat doesnt appear to be where the manual says it is. Could it be in the houseing down near the alternator? oh, yes.....just another ting.....HHEELLPPPPPP!!!!!!

You should undo the big nut on the back of the viscous fan unit (left hand thread) and the whole thing including fan should lift out.
