I have a 1953 Chevy 6400 with a 235 L6. My water pump is leaking like a sieve so it't time to replace it. I have been having issues getting the fan loose. I removed the 4 bolts on the front but it's still on there pretty tight. I am guessing that it is rusted/fused to the pulley but I want to make sure there isn't some bolt I am missing before I try more "persuassive" methods.

The end of the shaft sticks through the fan. It will cause some resistance but the fan will come off with some rocking back and forth and twisting.
