You might try a penetrating lubricant called Liquid Wrench. I find it works much better than WD-40, which just doesn't penetrate as well. Liquid Wrench comes both in an aerosol and non-aerosol form. The latter is in a can like 3-in-1 oil, which I prefer.
A former neighbor of mine, who was a mechanic, swore by a product called Freeze-Off. As the name suggests, it comes out super cold, causing the metal to contract, which breaks the bond between the metal and the rust. | ||

The little hole on the belt drive or the part that secures the fan, modern replacements have a through hole, this is the old fan off my 519, anyways you can always put some penetration oil in here as this is open to the top of the shaft, also clock wise is loosen, counter clockwise is tighten
