RE: CLUTCH FAN
If you have an air hammer with a long chisel, that's the quickest/easiest way. Barring that, you need a fan clutch wrench, adecent pry bar (to help lock down the W/P pulley)and a set of thick leather gloves (lest you wind up with busted knuckles when if finally lets go).
They are R/H thread.

hey man i got a 99 rt that i took the clutch fan off of and put an electric fan on... if you can afford the extra bucks i would recommend that... i got lots of power and gas mileage back and with the gas prices as they are its worth it... if you want pics of my setup let me know...
anyways i went to auto zone and rented from their loan a tool program a clutch fan removal kit...
it was a big wrench that fits on the clutch fan itself... its pretty easy to take off just make sure you keep the water pump from spinning..
hope this helps

I too replaced my set up with a 2 speed fan from a 5.0 Mustang.....
I wired it so low speed will be turned on by the A/C and then high
speed it controled by a single wire switch in the upper radiator hose housing.
the switch is set to turn on around 218* and it will ground a relay
that i have wired up. The grounding of the relay will cause a low
current to control the higher current that runs the cooling fan.
WhenI mounted the fan, I turned it 90* do the fan is at the upper part
of the radiator.....
engine is soo much more responsive.....haven't checked mileage yet,
but horsepower and mileage will go up with less drag on the engine.
I also dont miss that irretating roar from thefan when i strart it now.

This its the schematic I drew for the fans I installed in my '78 Aspen coupe. The whole install is detailed in the general tech forum.
