Default here is the "tool" I made to take it off

only works if you are completely replacing your old fan clutch and don't care about damaging it :-)

It's a regular hex key that I shaved on the sides a bit to make it fit into one of the holes on the pulley.

and the new fan clutch one going in, can't use the tool anymore because there isn't enough space to put it in to the pulley hole... unless you trim it to make shorter which I haven't tried.
