JeepFanatik Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Has anyone ran into this one? I removed all four nuts but the clutch fan seems stuck to the pulley. Even a couple light blows to try and loosen it do nothing. Was considering heat but open to other solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Could be stuck on there really good. Give it a good couple blows and it should wiggle free. It all depends on how rusted it all is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_rugal Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 don't hit it hard you could damage the bearing, soak it with some penetrating oil and see if it loosens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertwinkiehobo Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Rock it back and forth, side to side. Unless your rig was a salt baby, it will eventually rock its way off. Also, when you deal with removing this fan, undo but do not remove the fan shroud, and slide a sheet of cardboard in between the rad and shroud. Trying to remove the shroud before the fan can result in rad tube damage. Maveric and I ran into that, lost the replacement rad we dropped in.

VERY GOOD TIP to avoid radiator damage with fans that don’t want to come off easily!👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
