Fan clutch has gone bad. it making a metallic type noise and has a ton of play. i tried 2 times to get it off and nothing. i took the belt off and put a strap wrench on the water pump and a big adjustable on the bolt and went to town and nothing. whats the trick? i don't have air tools so a air hammer is out of the question.

 

Turn it the other way

 

i was pushing down on the wrench towards the drivers side

 

It normal thread push down on the wrench towards the passenger side

 

Go to autozone or pep boys and rent a fan clutch removal tool... like this:


The 57mm will go around the 4 bolts on the water pump... the 32 will go on the fan nut... spin fan left, water pump right.

 

its going to the dealer in the morning. flat towed it home, the belt snapped and i think my temp sensor is bad too because it was steaming hot and was still in the middle. flat towed it with a big block ram

 

i used this today and no luck damn thing is on there good

 

I just have to take my off today it is right handed threads,I have a 1997 Ranger v-6 4.0 , I putitng a trany cooler on,I am by passing radiator because I think I have a leak on the trany cooler in radiator,I just add fluid to trany ,I check radiator and it looked like a strawberry milk shake.

 

learn to spell and i cant understand what you mean.
