Howdy all,

I am in need of some Dire help please.

I own a 1999 Dodge Durango and the fan clutch is my problem area.

The clutch finally went out and I for the life of me can't keep the pulley from moving to break the nut in the back. could anyone please give me some advice on how to keep it from moving. I am seem to be doing everything I can only to fail.

Thank ya Kindly in Advance

 

couple of things you can try... if the pulley bolts to the pump, wedge a screwdriver between the bolts & then torque on the clutch nut, if not, you'll need to get a strap wrench to hold the pulley while you loosen the nut.


welcome to DF...

 

Take a 3 pound hammer and give your wrench a few wacks and it will come loose!!! Thats what i did to get mine off.

 

You have to keep the pully from turning to break the bolt free. like steveo said, strap wrench works great for this job. there is a special tol though that you can probably get from the zone for free to use.

 

I did this on our '00 D, got a strap wrench from Autozone, held pulley, worked great, good luck.

 

all i do is takea bar and ahammer and hit the nut right on the edge a few times i never have no prob with the pully turning.

 

Oh man!!!!! Nobody has told you yet???? It's a REVERSE thread!!!
