Well this morning I was about to head to ikea in Charlotte to pick up a couch and chair I hopped in my 94 cummins and when I started up my dodge , rattle bang scrape ! Fan clutch bearing went out and eat my radiator ! Well parts are ordered , but I tryed to get the old clutch off and I know it's reverse threads but still couldn't get it to budge . Any advise on how to loosen the nut ?

Second the air hammer, worked perfect for us this weekend on taking the fan clutch off.

That's about the only tool I don't have

BIG pair of channel locks if you dont have an air hammer.

Air hammer is by far the easiest, but if you don't have one your next best bet will be a hammer and chisel or punch. Unless you are Heman, that fan clutch nut isn't coming off with channel locks.

It will slip the belt before grip becomes a major issue. Best non air tool method is a dead blow on the end of the fan clutch wrench.

Check with advance auto and see if they have a fan wrench kit you can rent

When I did mine on a 7.3 I rented the fan clutch air tool from Orielys and used air hammer. I was pushing as hard as I could, using the air for about 30 minutes before it abruptly released. I bled profusely.

 

[khwrx]

gonna try to avoid any major bleeding, just started a new job and insurance hasnt kicked in yet.

 

[frankenyoter]

Good luck with it. I was about to use a sawzall or a torch on mine, and then it released!

 

[khwrx]

all the bearings fell out and its all wabbly , give me alittle more room , but i wish it would just fall off so id have alot more room.

Woo hoooo ! Got the fan clutch off . Air hammer did the trick.
