So there's 4 bolts holding the fan clutch to the pulley, but when I try to take it off, the pulley rotates with it.

How do I stop it?

Or you can get an impact gun lol but just stop it with a screw driver or something to counter the rotation.

I have a ratcheting 10mm wrench and if the belt starts slipping I push on the belt. A sharp rap from a hammer on the end of the wrench might break it free.
