Hey Guy This is my first post. I got my truck( 2007 4.7L QC 2WD) about a month ago. My first upgrade was to put an E-Fan. I found the write up by Off_Road_Teacher on here. So I went to getting parts, I got a Taurus fan,a flex-A-Lite fan controller, and the other parts he used. I started yesterday installing.

Here is my question. The clutch fan post/nut holds the water pump pulley on. What size nut fits it?

I have everything installed and working but with out that nut I had to put the clutch minus the fan blades back on to keep the pulley in place.

I thought about cutting the post/ nut off and using it. But then I would have to buy another clutch if I ever wanted to go back.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Tank

 

The pulley is pressed on and will stay in place. You don't need a nut or clutch without the blades.

The nut is not necessary. I used a great big crescent wrench to get the nut off. I'd guess it's a 1 1/4", but I don't know. A spanner is helpful to hold the water pump pulley. Some folks have jammed screwdriver or whatnot into the holes in the pulley.

 

The pulley should stay on without the nut.

 

got pics of the install?
