So anyone have tips on getting that plastic unit outta there?!?!

I took on a job to do the water pump on a buddy's 96 zj, and well my xj doesnt have this thing, and i have NO clue how to get it off, seems like it should be easier than it is being for me. It keeps getting stuck on the fan clutch...... Yes i have it loose, yes i can move it, but i just CANT get it out.

Im missing something somewhere.... and if you have a tip, i want to hear it! I need to get this done. lol

TIA

alright never mind i figured out it came off with the fan thanks tho
