Not Stuck Fan Clutch 1998 3.0, You have to turn it the "right" way
Had to use the air hammer to remove this one. It was above average stuck.

Are you sure you were turning it in the right direction? I am pretty sure the 3.0 fan thread turns off opposite normal threads. A fan should never be on that tight.
