While not a pro at repairs, on my 89 f150 6 cylinder, I found out the hard way that the easiest way is to remove the radiator and shroud, while the belt is still on, remove the fan by taking a cold chisel, after using PB Blaster on it and take a hammer and strike the , for lack of better words, cap that is attaching the fan to the water pump, then there should be 4 bolts holding it on...replacing the thermostat is a great idea to do at this time...hope this is some help.
