I believe it was Indyram that said he couldn't get his fan clutch off without using an impact wrench and the fan clutch tool. Or something to that effect. I figure it was just a BIG socket.

YOu run into any problems getting your fan off? Because, for now, I need to replace my caved in fan shroud with a junkyard replacement.

Thanks
