E46er is on a distinguished road
E53 3.0 Automatic Clutch fan nut seized

Hello everyone Ive been trying to replace all of the pulleys in the drive belt system, idler pulley, tensioner pulleys and water pump pulley. I cant get this clutch fan nut off for the life of me. I have the waterpump holding tool as well as the 32mm open end wrench. I know its left handed thread so lefty tighty and righty loosey. I have sprayed the nut with PB Blaster and no luck, used freeze off and also no luck. Im afraid if I use anymore force on the wrench while holding the pulley will just crack the plastic water pump pulley or taking out the expansion tank with all the force going to that side. Any other ideas i should try without cutting it from the waterpump, also i cant apply a torch because theres literaly no room and the alternator belt will probably melt. I have done this a lot of times on my E46 so i know for sure im turning it in the correct direction. Im open to any ideas. Thanks guys!!
