Before you read my explanation, I'd be interested to hear any suggestions anyone has for removing the fan clutch. Like the title says I can't for the life of me get the fan clutch off. I have a manual from All Data, and the instructions say to spin counter-clockwise. I spin in that direction (facing the vehicle) and I can't get it off. I rented the removal tool, unscrewed 2 of the pulley bolts, and used a crowbar to wedge between them and hold the pulley in place while attempting to turn. It actually bent one of the screws from the force, but I think that's my fault for unscrewing it a bit too far. I'd appreciate any and all advice. Thanks a lot. here are a couple picures: Attachment 18636 Attachment 18637 |
Try spraying it with Blaster or Liquid Wrench while tapping it so that they seep into the threads. Then try again.
