I am thinking about just keeping my stock LQ4 water pump for now since I am a little short on funds, I was just wanting to know how to remove the fan clutch from the snout of the pump?
Thanks

Do I need to get a nut to put back on there once the I get the fan clutch off?

Use the Kent-Moore tools.
Also the pump is not on a car, so any tips on holding the pulley in place while I turn the nut without damaging the pulley?
I use an air hammer.

yep...air hammer and catch the nut on the corner and it will come loose with ease.
