Default Timing belt job, viscous fan question

So Im in the middle of doing my timing belt and i cannot for the life of me remove the viscous fan. I removed the four 5mm hex bolts but it will not budge. Am I missing something? Please reply quickly. Thank you in advance.

You are lucky. Some ***** Stripped the Alen Bolt in the back and I ended up cutting the main Shaft.

Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear that. How did you get the fan back on? Did you have to buy a whole new shaft?
