If you know someone that has a milling machine they can make one for you from flat bar stock. It doesn't have to be a high strength tool as all it does is hold the adjustment nut while torquing the nut in front of the fan.

Here's what I use. It's an adjustable trap wrench, found at most common home improvement stores in the plumbing section. A really cheap, cast piece that does the trick.
I had ground the wrenching flats smooth for another project as I think the original flats possibly had a step in them (can't remember for sure)??

If you can find one, it would be ideal. For now I cheat and use channel locks with the teeth wrapped in duct tape.

I went to Fastenal and ordered an offset wrench. It is an Armstrong thin pattern pump wrench. If I remember it was pretty expensive ($25-$30) and could fab my own a lot cheaper. Hind sight is 20/20.

Be careful using the channel locks on the nut. They work good but too much pressure can crack it. Just enough pressure to hold it while putting torque on the front 3/4" nut at 45 ft. lb.

Mine is a Bonney wrench that was 1 5/8" and I milled it to 1 3/4". I'm a retired aircraft mech but I have sold all but a few of my Bonney type wrenches.
No doubt that Channelock pliers would mork just fine.

Mork may be fine for you, myself, I preferred Mindy...:sorry1:Mork just fine
Hey guys, I mentioned before that I "cheat" and use channel locks, no problem with that at all.
But please consider wrapping the teeth in some kind of tape, the clutch adjustment nut is a soft metal that will scar up pretty easily if you put those bare metal teeth on it.
