My water pump crapped the bed and like a goof I took the pump off with the clutch fan still on. What do i need to do to take the fan off the old pump? From the look of things it's just pressed on there.
Thanks
By the way I did do a search.
You have to unscrew the big nut. Hold the WP pulley from spinning and use a large crescent wrench. have you downloaded the 01 service manual? And I hope you didn't damage the TC cover gasket.
if you go to harbor freight right now, they have a 2 piece strap wrench with lifetime warranty on sale for 3.99. That'll hold the pulley while you use a wrench or large cresent to take the nut off.I just picked me up a set yesterday for the same reason
I had to buy the odd tool with 2 pegs to hold the pump pulley still, then used a large wrench to remove the fan. It is threaded normally, not reverse BTW, I just went through removing mine 2 months ago with an E-fan install.
If you don't have a way to hold the pulley still, put a wrench on it and hit it with a hammer, it may take a few tries but the shock will break it loose.
