Given a complex number $z = (a^2 - 7a + 6) + (a^2 - 5a - 6)i$ where $a \in \mathbb{R}$,

(1) If the complex number $z$ is purely imaginary, find the value of the real number $a$;

(2) If the corresponding point of the complex number $z$ in the complex plane is in the fourth quadrant, find the range of values for the real number $a$.
