There's a big wrench that fits over the 4 bolts to hold the water pump shaft in place while your remove the fan and clutch assembly (I'm pretty sure it's reverse threaded, btw).
You can remove the water pump with the fan and clutch still attached (I did because I didn't have the tool yet). That might give you better access to remove the fan and clutch.

Once you get the fan out of the way, there's just a bunch of bolts that hold it on.
Clean the mating surface really well to remove all the old gasket material before you put it back on.
It might also be a good time to replace the timing chain since you've already got the front of the motor torn apart.
