merry xmas -- my waterpump went out yesterday 12/24 whohooo.. anyway i am trying to figureout a way to remove the fan nut and do i have to remove the fan shroud ? any help would be appreciated

 

hard luck huh 1 your application requires you to remove the fan it is threaded to the water pump by a large nut you will probobly need a large adjustable wrench ,leave the belts on it will help hold the shaft from turning , the fan should slide forward enough to clear enough workspace and the shroud can stay in place pull the water pump pulley, drain the coolant,pull belts, remove hoses, remove the four bolts and brackets and reverse the order remember to hand tighten fan then install belts then tighten fan be happy that your not where i am, been frozen cold and snowing for three days good wrenching, hammer gone!!!!

 

got it..that works.... thanks hammer
