Fred, if you just want the fan belt off, try putting a board and jack under
the engine pan and lifting the engine a tad. You may have to undo the motor
mount on one side, but often not. Also, you can add shims (P/N 109582) to
the motor mounts, to get clearance to change the belt on the side of the
road.
If you really want the hub extension (the 'tapered shaft' part) off, you
will have to remove the fan first, and then undo the big bolt in the center.
Once it's out, the extension should come off easily.
