I found the answer and it's measure 35.6-7 on my caliper. So a 36mm is
should work in case anyone needs to know.

I have banged on, and tried PB blaster, yet I can not loosen my
Fan clutch nut.
I am standing in front of the car and turning to the right.
I have a locking tool, but it won't budge.
Tried a BFH, but won't let up.

Standing in front it comes off counter clockwise (left).

You need a 36mm thin wrench and a counter holding wrench both available on ebay.
