Hey everyone,

I am trying to get to my waterpump but my fan clutch is giving me major problems to remove....I have the loaner tool from Autozone but its not breaking loose on the contrary the whole thing is rotating counter clockwise (the pulley and all)....wondering if anyone here know a way I can break that fan clutch nut loose?....I know I can do this job and dont want to pay money to have someone do it so please any info is greatly appreciated....PLEASE HELP ASAP

that might help ya out.

 

I cant thank you enough I have the wrench for the nut but I need to get a hold of the one for the pulley....Once I get the other one I hope it will make it easier to remove I think its all original on there....I seriously need to get that pump out...thanks again

 

Ok so I got the tools needed to get the nut off but to my luck the darn nut is striped...now to find another way....wondering if a piped wrench would help i just need a vise type wrench on there....

 

pipe wrench might work...i would put some anti seize on the new one. hopefully by the time you read this its done.

 

I have used a large rubber strap wrench to hold the pulley.
most harware stores or a plumbing supply house should have one.

 

If you go to sears they have sockets that take out stripped bolts, nuts etc.... I have a set and they work wonders i believe they are called bolt outs. They are awesome 20.00 for the set i picked up for my 3/4 drive

 

you could try a pipe wrench that might work. also leave the belt on as it will hold the pulley from turning. If you still cant get it try to get a hold of an air hammer. Thats what most guys at the dealership do. Take a sharp bit and hit it on an angle on one of the points of the clutch nut. It will break it loose

 

Thanks everyone for all the input this has been very helpful....since I have access to a pipe wrench I will begin there...I was hoping that the belt will hold the pulley and not spin on me but it spun and then I put as much tension on the belt as I possibly could and it still spun...haha but I think the idea of the rubber strap wrench will do the trick (i hope)...will have to run to Ace hardware this week...since the truck is my winter ride I am trying to get it all done before it gets colder...so I do appreciate the help and info you all have provided...will keep everyone posted
