Help removing Fan
So here's the story...
I lost my belt Saturday on the way to our company's holiday party. Once I got the truck back home I noticed that the Fan had a lot of wobble in it. So after cursing and throwing a lot of stuff around the garage, I set myself up to replacing the Water pump.
I have now been trying to remove the fan for about 8 hours over two days time. I got a loaner fan wrench kit from Autozone and it's just not helping. Most of my problem is trying to use the correct wrench size.
If anyone can help I have:
76mm
68mm
83mm
72mm
54mm
These are for the pulley side. The wrenches in the kit for the nut are too big so I am using something else. Anyone have experience using the above on a 97 Dakota?
Thanks in advance,

i don't use a a specific wrench. I used a 1" adjustable wrench on the max and it fits like perfect a little more snug but works, than I take some vise grips onto the pulley and wrench it off, a hammer helps to hit the wrench to break the seal.
