After looking around online yesterday for the easiest way to remove my fan clutch (to replace my water pump), I found all kinds of different methods. Rent a tool, make a tool, buy a tool, etc. The general consensus seemed to be that no matter what, it's a pain. I came up with an easy way to do it. I put a 1" bolt through one of the holes in the pulley, with a nut to hold it tight. Then I wrapped a chain around the frame below, and attached the other end to the bolt and put another nut on it. I put a big crescent wrench on it, and once the chain was tight, it took very little effort to break it loose. Anyway, just thought I'd share. It's an 05 model, but should work on just about any of them.

 

vid or it didn't happen.

Did you have to turn it to the right?

I ended up making one out of a block of wood and a couple of bolts when I pulled mine in favor of an efan setup...

 

I wanted to make a video, but didn't have anyone to help. If you're facing the engine, turn it to the left. It's not reverse threaded.
