Don't you just hate it when you get those greasy fingerprints all over the key boards!

Lol, actually it was the water pump and clutch that came off the 360 in my garage, and it is dry as a bone. But that aside, yes, my laptop is filthy from me using it with greasy hands.

Yup, regular old right-hand thread.
The fan nut is a 36MM. NAPA, or any auto parts store, has a kit for fan removal. When I did mine, I actually bought this one-time-use tool. I think it was like $60. (Call me dumb, I don't care. I love having tools, even if I might never use them again. You never know!) There just wasn't enough space to get a regular wrench in there. (for me at least)

You might be able to loan it from AutoZone or the others that loan out tools.

I tried to get one from autozone and the fan clutch tool they had was no where near big enough for our trucks. Any chance you have a photo of the NAPA tool you have?

The manual says. 6958 Spanner Wrench with Adapter Pins 8346

Here are a few sites. I can't find a direct one at napa but a universal one.

Someone else told me it was reverse thread too. I just wanted to make sure. the ol' chiltons did not say anything of course. Everything else I have is 81 and under and they all come off in 5 minutes or less!

I see this has been beaten to death, but I'll add to it. I just did mine a week or so ago when I did my motor swap.

The nut IS NOT REVERSE threaded. I wedged a large screwdriver behind the clutch assembly and tapped on the nut with an air chisle. bout 5 taps and it spun right off. Dont waste your $4 buying fancy tools you'll never use again!
