92 YJ, Fan Clutch bolt - which direction?

[mikedashevillejj]

I've got to replace my water pump. Does anyone know which direction to loosen the fan clutch on a 92 YJ? Is it counter-clockwise to loosen?

Thanks!

Thanks 89Wrangler. Is there anything else I need to know about replacing my water pump on the YJ? Strap wrench?

They make a wrench just for that job. Clutch wrench, that makes it easier. Most parts stores have them.

I have never used a clutch wrench, although a ratchet wrench does make the job easier if that is what is what the clutch is referring to .
