The turning direction is helpful! I actually tried to do more research and found a thread on Ranger-Forums on it. A guy with the same year, submodel, trim, engine, tranny, and everything else had some important info. Apparently on a stock setup for my truck the nut isnt a 36mm like I had thought it would be. Its a stock 7/8 inch nut and since the fan clutch wrench wont go around the bolts you have to either try to crack it loose with the belt on and tight or get a strap wrench and put it around the water pump pulley while the belt is off as a brace. Makes no sense why ford designed all but this particular fan clutch as the 36mm but oh well. Gotta run to the store now so that I can get some tools and get it running!
Also, is there a particular or easier way to get the drive crank pulley off? Maybe take the fan shroud out?
