I sprayed the set screw and nut with PB blaster for a few days. I was able to get the nut off but not the set screw out, I was afraid of breaking the set screw. Next I found the same size nut and put 2 nuts on the set screw. I backed the first nut into the second nut with a wrench, had someone also at the same time use a ratchet with a screw driver bit in the slot turning the set screw too and was able to get the screw out. Next I cut the fan belt off and sprayed down the set screw hole and both sides of the pulley flange with PB Blaster. I sprayed it a lot. I also would tap the flange (Unscrew direction) with a brass punch while holding the fan. I did this every day since Sunday and nothing moved at all until yesterday. It moved a little in the morning. I then sprayed it more and came back later and tapped it a little more. Once it moved I knew it would eventially move. Finally last night I was able to brake it free, now you could almost spin it with your fingers. I didn't put the belt on yet. I also at the same time am resealing the engine (The main job). I have the valve cover off, push rod cover off, oil filter housing off, mag off, pan off etc. I am cleanig out sludge. The fan belt is just a fill in job. The key is to spray it, tap a little with a brass punch, stop, let it sit ,then do it a few hours later. I think you asked once where I am in Ct, I am in Colchester.
