Need help NOW! Pittsburgh area

Any tech member out there in the Pittsburgh area?? I need some help changing a water pump on my E550 Beastie! She started leaking the other day..not much, but progressively worse. This is my money truck and I need to get this fixed TODAY (Sunday) and no..I can't afford to take it to the stealer tomorrow. I have the shroud loose, coolant drained somewhat but the fan is attached to the ENGINE SIDE of the fan clutch and can't get it off. I have fresh coolant, a new water pump and a new serp belt ready to put on I just need some help! Can't risk forcing the old one off and not being able to get it back together. ANYONE?? I live in Penn Hills. 412-576-6945 (PS..I'm now officially broke too, until I return the tool..)

thanks Dave..already looked there but there seems to be a big difference between the truck and the van. Before you can remove the fan, ya gotta take the fan clutch off (it bolts to the clutch from the engine side) and therein lies the first problem, I can't get the removal wrenches on the fan hub. Got no one here to help and I can't seem to get things going here. Need some experienced on site help with this Beast.
