I think it goes like this:
Roll up a newspaper. Start car. While it's cold, if you use the newspaper to stop the viscous fan, it should do it. When the engine is fully warm, trying the same thing will shred the paper to bits.
No doubt someone will put me right.

All has been tried and the coupling seems to be f***ed.
