How do you remove the clutch fan?

BlizzardX23 · Sep 12, 2009

How do I get this ****** fan off? I just ordered E-Fans while the truck is torn apart....

Also, since the clutch fan wont be there taking up space...this will be my new style intake...

get a vice grip on the inside of the fan pully..get it clamped on nice and hard and proped against something..get a big wrench and twist the nut thats behind the fan..that comes off with the fan..they are a *****

So I just need to get the nut off somehow and the fan will slide off with the nut?...then I just leave it like that and install the E-Fans?

Yup you just leave it off. What fans you getting? Scoop the harness from Blackbear, big alternator or a pulley might be a good idea as well.

I dont have a wrench big enough to fit around the nut...and how do I keep the pulley from spinning? ..seems like a small vise would slip off..

Time to buy some wrenches.

Sounds like a good excuse to go buy some new tools. I always love a new project - it means i get to buy a new tool :hands:
