Viscous fan removal

V8 4.6 - I need to remove the viscous fan to get at the water pump to change the gasket. Does anyone know a work around so that you don't have to use special tools LRT-12-093 and LRT-12-094. They don't show the heads of the tools but I suspect that they are just big spanners. Or, does anyone know where you can get the tools? Thanks

36mm spanner hit it with an hammer right to left. Looking from front of car.

You're a proper gent. I don't know which is more expensive, a 36mm spanner or the tool. I'm just waiting for a quote for the pair from Britpart.

You can get them off Ebay don't know how good they are though. Viscous usually needs the spanner shocking with an hammer no matter which tool you use.
